That thing you do: Day 21 (LAST DAY!!!!)

Matthew 21:18-22 

The tree looked like it was bearing figs, but no fruit was there. Just as in Jesus' cleansing of the temple, His striking of the tree indicated the imminence of judgement.

The tree with its leaves had the marks of fruitfulness, but bore no fruit. 

In the same way, we could be reading our Bible, going to church as often as possible, being as "religious" as we could be, but if we don't follow what Christ is telling us, these are merely works in vain. 

"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not unto men." (Colossians 3:23)

It shouldn't be for man that we serve. There's no fruit in that. 

Let's invest time and energy into knowing God. 

Only then can we love Him. 

Only when we love Him can we obey Him. 

And only then can we truly learn to FOLLOW HIM.
