jesus is still hungry

Jesus was hungry, he saw a fig tree and went to get a snack, when He got there the fig tree had no fruit on it.  now i grew up in the country and our farm had quite a few fruit trees and vines and in the spring and summer i know where to get an apple, grape, or mulberry, and i do love mulberries.  and sometimes a season is better than others some years there is more fruit then others.  but when Jesus went to the tree he was empty, the tree hadn’t produced the fruit that it was made for, and Jesus didn’t just stand for it, he cursed it and the tree died.  us as Christ followers are made to produce fruit just like that fig tree, if we do i think it’s pretty obvious that Jesus won’t stand for it.  God is a God of second, third, forth, . . . chances, but if you look at the story of mosses leading israel out of egypt, pharaoh had a lot of chances to do it Gods way and one time he submitted to God only to change his mind but there was a line that pharaoh crossed when he no longer had the option to make up his own mind, it went from pharaoh hardened his heart to God hardened pharaoh’s heart.  i’ve herd a lot of people speak on this lesson and have said that God wanted to kill pharaoh from the start but that is just not true according to scripture.  pharaoh had many chances, God showed him many merricles to convince him but pharaoh dug his own watery grave.  the question is are you producing fruit today? if not how many times do you think you have to turn your back on Jesus will come to you looking for fruit one day, and do you want to leave him hungry, i don’t.
