Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” And His disciples were listening.
[Mark 11:13-14]
Jesus cursed the tree because it was bearing no fruit outside of season. Bearing fruit out of season is expected in the Kingdom. We have a clear mandate to call things that are not as though they were. We live in Heaven and on earth. We are citizens of an unseen realm. Bearing fruit means taking that which is in us, the Kingdom of Heaven, and making it a reality here on earth. We are called to take the invisible and demonstrate it visibly, to bear fruit out of season.
