Mark 11:12 - 11:33
Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
In Mark 11:12-33, Steve Gregg discusses the events of Passion Week, highlighting Jesus' teachings about faith, forgiveness, and judgement. The story of the fig tree serves as a warning to Israel to produce "fruit" or face judgement, while the cleansing of the temple reveals Jesus' disapproval of the corrupt business taking place there. Gregg also explores the concept of imprecatory prayer, where believers pray for God's will to be done even if it means the downfall of their enemies. Throughout the passage, Jesus emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and love for enemies, while challenging those who question his divine authority.
