Fig Trees and Flipping Tables | Living In Exile
What happens when we are longing for things to be different:
We try to ESCAPE.
We SETTLE in.
As Christians, do we look any different from the WORLD around us?
Psalm 137:1-4
How do we sing while we’re in exile?
Jeremiah 24:1-7
They became like BABYLON before they were ever in Babylon.
The GOOD figs are the ones in exile.
The BAD figs are the ones with power.
“Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.” (1 Peter 2:11)
Fig Trees and Flipping Tables
Ephesians 2:19-22
Jesus didn’t come to tweak the old system, he came to flip it UPSIDE DOWN.
