Matthew 21:12-22

Matthew 21:12-22

  1. The first event that demands our attention, is our Lord's visit to the temple.
  2. The second event that demands our attention in these verses, is our Lord's curse upon the fruitless fig-tree.
  3. Finally, is not every fruitless professor of Christianity in dreadful danger of becoming a withered fig-tree?

"Fruit, fruit--the fruit of the Spirit, is the only sure proof that we are savingly united to Christ, and in the way to heaven. May this sink down into our hearts, and never be forgotten!"

Hi! My name is Shaun Martens, and I have the joy of serving the local body of Christ called First Baptist Church of Calgary as one of its pastors. I am married to my beautiful wife, Madelyn, and together we have 5 children, 3 of which we have the joy of parenting. I created this podcast to make the edifying writings of J.C. Ryle more accessible in a listening and devotional format.
If you are encouraged by this work or have any feedback or questions, I would love to hear from you! My email is smartens@firstbaptistcalgary.com.
