Parable of the Signs from the Fig Tree
Jesus uses the fig tree parable to teach His disciples about recognizing signs of the times. He says that just as one can discern that summer is near when a fig tree puts forth leaves, so too can they recognize the signs indicating that the kingdom of God is near. He emphasizes that when they see these signs, they will know that the events he has predicted, such as the destruction of the temple and the end times, are about to take place.
Jesus assures His disciples that although heaven and earth will pass away, His words will never pass away.
Why do you think Jesus emphasizes the certainty of His words in contrast to the passing away of heaven and earth?
About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
