Matthew 21:20 - 21:22
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses Matthew 21:20-22 where Jesus cursed a fig tree that did not bear fruit and said that with enough faith, one can move mountains. This passage has been interpreted by Christians to mean that faith can overcome any challenge. However, Gregg suggests that the mountain being cast into the sea can be interpreted as a metaphor for the judgment of Jerusalem in 70 AD. He believes that Jesus referred to this teaching multiple times and that it is important to understand the context of the passage.
