In Matthew 24:32-36, Jesus tells us to learn from the fig tree. The tree represents Christ. When people come to you, are you empty? You have no fruit to share. You are not prepared to give of the wisdom of the Kingdom of God.

We need to be prepared when we meet needy people. They could be those at your work, on the street, at the store, or anyone in your family. Please be filled up and ready to give, not empty with no Word from the Lord.

We are that fig tree, as the Kingdom of God is within us. Recognize that He is near, for we do not know the day or the hour He will be returning. ~Pastor Larry Gray, June 2, 2019
