The Life You Bear
Scripture Reading:
Mark 11:12–17
Devotional Thought:
On Monday of Passion Week, Jesus curses a fruitless fig tree and cleanses the temple. Both moments point to the same truth: God is not impressed with appearances, but rather desires genuine fruit and pure worship. The temple looked active, but it had become corrupt. The fig tree looked healthy, but it produced nothing. Jesus confronts empty religion and calls His people back to lives that truly honor Him.
Application:
Take time today to examine your life. Are there areas where your faith looks alive outwardly but lacks real fruit inwardly? Ask God to cultivate in you true spiritual fruit—love, humility, obedience, and sincerity in worship.
Self-Reflection:
Where in my life might I be giving the appearance of faith without producing genuine spiritual fruit?
