We see Jesus illustrate judgment in this incident with the fig tree.  We see Jesus issue judgment as he cleanses the temple.  And I think we even see him predict future judgment against the temple and Jerusalem in this passage.  And so today we’ll be looking at Jesus talking about judgment.  Of course we can’t help but think about Christ’s grace when we think of his judgment.  But I want us to really reckon today with judgment.  Jesus is holding out the threat of judgment to the Israelites.  Let’s really understand and wrestle with that.  And as we do that, we’ll see how the judgment applied to Israel is also an ongoing warning to us to remain steadfast in faith in God.
