#35 Why You SHOULD be Concerned that Jesus Killed a Tree in The Chosen S5E5

In season 5 of The Chosen, Jesus goes to pick fruit from a fig tree, but he finds nothing…so he kills it!!! THIS should concern you. Greatly!

Because the real reason Jesus curses this tree goes way beyond the fact that it doesn’t have figs. It’s clear in the episode that it isn’t even the season for figs. There’s no reason for Jesus to be angry at the tree.

And that’s because this moment isn’t really about the fig tree; it’s about SOMEONE that the fig tree represents.

And in order to get to the real meaning of this passage, we actually have to look beyond The Chosen itself to how these events truly unfold in scripture. Because when we do, we’ll discover important details that explain not only why this tree is so important, but also why this moment should actually concern us, because there is something about this fig tree that, when we stop and think about it, is going to hit way too close to home!

Let’s go!
