Il Fico Sterile
Versetto introduttivo: Mc 11:13 E, vedendo da lontano un fico che aveva delle foglie, andò a vedere se vi trovasse qualcosa; ma, avvicinatosi ad esso, non vi trovò altro che foglie, perché non era il tempo dei fichi. Un approfondimento intorno a questo passaggio biblico tanto famoso quanto controverso. Perchè Gesù condanna inesorabilmente quel Fico, quali i messaggi nascosti, chi rappresenta, ed infine quale messaggio per noi oggi. Se questa storia ti affascina e ti lascia con qualche punto interrogativo, questa riflessione è da ascoltare.

Ebrei 2:8 s.p., 9 – Infatti, nel sottoporgli tutte le cose non ha lasciato nulla che non gli fosse sottoposto. Tuttavia, al presente non vediamo ancora che tutte le cose gli sono sottoposte, ma vediamo coronato di gloria e d’onore per la morte che sofferse, Gesù, che è stato fatto per un po’ di tempo inferiore agli angeli, affinché per la grazia di Dio gustasse la morte per tutti.

Twice Mine
So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation. Genesis 2:1-3 NLT
I can imagine God walking Adam and Eve through the garden that very first Sabbath. Having been created the day before, Adam and Eve didn’t need a physical rest after a long week. As God showed them all His created works that first Sabbath, they rested in the fact that it was God who made them and not they themselves. See Psalms 100:3
When God had finished our creation, He rested and gave us the Sabbath as a sign that He created us. We mark a year by the sun. We mark a month by the moon. We mark a day by the earth’s rotation. What do we have to mark a week? The Sabbath, which takes us to creation and reminds us that we have a Creator.
“It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. John 19:30 ESV
When Jesus finished the work of our redemption He again rested on the Sabbath, this time in a tomb.
Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. Exodus 31:13 NLT
The Sabbath is not only a sign of God’s power to create, but also a sign of His power to redeem and to make us holy.
An old story tells of a little boy who had built a wooden sailboat and took it down to a creek by his home. He had tied a string to it so he could watch it float, and then reel it back in, but the string broke. His boat went sailing down the creek and out of sight.

A few days later when the boy was walking with his father downtown, he saw his boat in a toy store window. “That’s my boat!” The boy exclaimed. He went inside and told the store keeper that it was his boat. But the store keeper informed him that, since he had no way to verify the boy’s story, if he wanted the boat back, he would have to pay for it.
After working for several weeks at extra chores the boy earned the money to buy his boat back. He walked out of the store, clutching the boat to his heart and was overheard saying, “Little boat you are twice mine. First I made you. Then I bought you.”
Today the Sabbath is a sign from God that we are twice His. Once, at creation He made us, then on the cross He bought us.
Amen!

Anxious Times: Reflections on 9/11/2001
by Loren Seibold | 7 September 2021 | Shortly after 9/11, I rushed out a book on the event for Pacific Press, which they titled badly and promoted poorly, and it didn’t sell.

How Can We Use Our Talents for God?
God has given us all talents. They are gifts. And they are as varied as we are as people. No matter what we’ve been given, it’s our job to put our talents to use. To help others and honor God. God wants you to push past self-imposed limitations to really shine. Blog: https://www.ibelievebible.com/talents/ ___
