"The accursed fig tree" by James Tissot, 1836-1902Monday reading: Mark 11:12-19
Jesus is in no mood for lightness. He curses a barren fig tree. Then He cleans the money changers and dove sellers out of the temple. His explanation, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations'? But you have made it a den of thieves."
What does the serious, down-to-business, days-from-the-cross Jesus curse in our lives, my life? My fruitlessness? My affair with the things of this world?
God help me, this Holy Week, to get honest with You and let You get ruthless with me.
