Listen "What is Jesus Hungry For?"
Episode Synopsis
This message challenges us to examine the state of our hearts if Jesus were to look at them today. Using the story from Mark 11, the speaker explores how Jesus' encounter with the fig tree and His cleansing of the temple symbolizes God's justice and restoration.Fig Tree as a Symbol: The tree, full of leaves but without fruit, represents Israel’s spiritual state—appearing righteous but lacking true faith and obedience. Jesus curses the tree, signifying judgment on Israel for failing its purpose.Cleansing of the Temple: Jesus enters the temple and overturns tables, not out of mere anger but to restore access to God for all people, especially those being exploited. This is not just judgment but an act of restoration.Call to Faith: Jesus tells His disciples to "Have faith in God," emphasizing trust in His justice and sovereignty rather than worldly systems.The speaker challenges listeners to evaluate their own lives:Are you truly bearing fruit or just looking the part?Are you blocking others from accessing God?Are you willing to let Jesus remove obstacles in your heart?
