Feeling A Little Hungry

FEBRUARY 03, 2022
Daily Reading – Exodus 17-19 / Matthew 21:1-22

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Matthew 21:18-19 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

     There are those who claim Jesus was not deity, not God. There are others who claim He was not a real man, but rather God in the figure of a man. I believe today’s passage shows He was all God and all man.

     When I get up in the morning, I am hungry. It is part the human side of us saying we need to refuel to be productive through the day. Some will eat more or less than others, but most feel the need to eat something. So did the man Jesus.

    However, Jesus used this opportunity to teach an eternal lesson by withering a fig tree. Yea, I cannot do that. However, Jesus being all God and all man could. Jesus asked the disciples on another occasion, who do you say I am. Today we might ask ourselves the same thing.   

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

   Who do we say that Jesus is?
God, Man, or 100% both?
