“If ye have faith, and doubt not…if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done” (Matthew 21:21).
This verse appears in Mark’s gospel also, and it has caused a lot of discussion among believers. Did the Lord Jesus really mean that you and I should want to throw a mountain into the sea? No, for although God’s power could certainly do it, yet there would be no point to it.
In the sense in which this verse appears in connection with the drying up of the fig tree, I suggest that the mountain here refers to the Jews and their religion. Because they had rejected their Messiah, God was going to allow them to be driven out of their land, and scattered among the nations. The sea in the Bible often speaks of the nations of this world.
This actually happened, for about forty years after this, the Roman general Titus came against Jerusalem and besieged it. The temple was destroyed, many of the Jews were killed, and many more were taken captive and eventually sold into slavery. For almost 1900 years, the Jews had no place on earth to call home. The mountain was indeed removed, and cast into the sea. God was going to start something new (Christianity), and instead of expecting something FROM man, He was going to give something TO man.
On Monday, we will see another meaning to this word “mountain.”

“Now in the morning…He [the Lord Jesus] hungered. And when He saw a fig tree in the way, He came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away” (Matthew 21:18-19).
We might wonder why the Lord Jesus would bother to curse the fig tree, simply because He did not find any figs on it. I grew up on a fruit farm, and it was not unusual for a fruit tree to bear very little fruit for one year. But the next year it often produced a good crop. However, it was rare for a tree not to produce any fruit.
In this account, the fig tree is a picture of the nation of Israel, and in the broad sense, it is a picture of all mankind. We can produce plenty of leaves, which are only outward show, but we cannot produce any fruit for God in our natural state. Our old nature can do only bad things in God’s sight. That is why the Lord Jesus said, “Let no fruit grow on thee henceforth for ever.” After 4,000 years of testing, man’s trial was over; God knew He could not expect anything from man in his natural condition.
There was only one way that man could produce fruit for God, and that was if God in His grace gave him a new life in Christ. In this chapter (Matthew 21), the Lord Jesus was on His way to the cross, to suffer and die so that you and I could have a new life in Him.

“Neither wilt Thou suffer Thine Holy One to see corruption” (Psalm 16:10).
“But He, whom God raised again, saw no corruption” (Acts 13:37).
If the human brain is deprived of oxygen, brain cells begin to die in less than five minutes, and within ten minutes there will be severe permanent brain damage. But when the Lord Jesus died and was buried, His body lay in the grave for three days, yet there was no corruption in any part of it. This was miraculous, but it was God’s way of honoring His beloved Son. Although He died, and His body was really dead, yet no corruption occurred while He was in the grave. Then He rose again with a glorified body, and was seen by many for a period of forty days.
Sometimes people question the truth of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, but it is one of the most documented events in history. He was seen by many witnesses, and even the Jewish leaders knew that they were lying when they persuaded the soldiers guarding His tomb to say that His disciples came and stole the body while they (the soldiers) were asleep.
You and I do not belong to a dead Savior; we belong to a risen Savior!

“Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine [teaching] of the Lord” (Acts 13:12).
If you read the account in this chapter of the visit of Paul and Barnabas to Cyprus, and especially their time spent in Paphos, you will see that a Jew, who was involved with demons, tried to persuade the deputy, Sergius Paulus, not to believe the gospel. But Paul used the power of God to make this Jewish “magician” blind for a while, to show him that God’s power was greater than Satan’s power.
However, when Sergius Paulus believed, it does not say that he was astonished at the power of the Lord, but rather at the teaching of the Lord. He was probably used to heathen gods of the Romans, and the power of Satan in the Jew who was connected with demons. But then he heard the gospel from Paul and Barnabas, and learned that he could have his sins forgiven, and have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. It was this wonderful truth that really impressed him, and won his heart. Have you accepted the Lord Jesus as your Savior?

“Now about that time Herod the king…killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also” (Acts 12:1-3).
In the Roman Empire rulers were absolute, and could imprison or kill almost anyone they wanted. Herod killed James, and was going to get Peter too. But if you read the rest of the chapter, you will see that the Lord miraculously let Peter out of prison, and he lived quite a while longer. But why would the Lord allow James to be killed, and keep Peter alive?
We do not know the complete answer to this question, for the Lord does not always tell us why He did something. However, it would seem that James’ work was done, and that the Lord allowed him to be called home to Himself, just as He allowed a young man like Stephen to be stoned.
But the Lord had more work for Peter to do, and sent an angel to let him out of prison. God knows how to prepare His servants for their work, and He takes them home when their work is finished. Even today we sometimes see a fairly young person taken home to be with the Lord, and perhaps we wonder why. But we cannot question God’s ways; He always does what is right.

“They sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch…for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith…Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch” (Acts 11:22,24-26).
God had begun a new work in the city of Antioch, and the believers in Jerusalem sent Barnabas to them, to encourage them in the Lord. But then Barnabas went to Tarsus to find Saul, and brought him to Antioch. Why would Barnabas do this? Barnabas had been saved some years before Saul of Tarsus, and he might have thought that he was perfectly capable of helping the new believers in Antioch.
However, we must recognize that the Lord has given each of us different gifts. Barnabas was evidently a loving, caring man, with a real heart for souls. Saul however (afterward Paul, the Apostle) was a teacher, and Barnabas recognized that Saul had a gift that he did not have. New believers need shepherding care, but they also need teaching, and in this way Barnabas and Saul worked together in Antioch.
In the church of God we need each other, just as we need each part of our body. We can all work together in the Lord’s work.

“Who [the Lord Jesus] His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24).
When the Lord Jesus was on the cross, He bore the judgment for our sins in His own body. However, it is important to realize that while our verse uses the word “stripes” to describe the judgment for our sins, those stripes were not from the things man did to Him. It was not the stripes from the scourging, the sufferings from the crown of thorns, or the sufferings from being crucified, that put away our sins. No, it was His sufferings in the three hours of darkness, from the hands of God, that put away our sins. We do not know what happened during those three hours, for God made it dark so that no one could see what took place.
Sometimes the Bible uses a word that we can understand (like the word “stripes”) to describe something we cannot understand, for we cannot really know or understand what the Lord Jesus suffered during those hours of darkness.

“In the multitude of my anxious thoughts within me Thy comforts have delighted my soul” (Psalm 94:19 JND).
Yesterday we saw that the Lord does not want us to worry or be anxious, but rather to go to Him in prayer. But if we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that sometimes we do worry about various things. Evidently the writer of this psalm (probably David) knew how it felt to be anxious about many things at the same time, and to have many anxious thoughts.
While the Lord does not want us to worry, He provides comfort for us even in those times that we do worry. Just today (in February, 2024) a brother in Christ emailed me from a foreign country. He was in the hospital and was anxious about paying his hospital bill. I was able to reassure him that we were praying for him, and that if he prayed about the situation, the Lord would give him peace about it. The Lord did comfort him, and he was able to rest more easily.
We should be ready to go to the Lord in prayer first, but even if we do occasionally worry, the Lord is ready to comfort us if we look to Him. And the Lord did send the funds to pay the bill!

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6).
We normally think of being careful as being watchful, so as not to get into trouble, or hurt ourselves. But in today’s verse, the word “careful” has the thought of worrying, or being anxious. There are different things in our lives that can make us worry or be anxious. Perhaps you get anxious about your exams, or whether you will get into a good university, if you are thinking about higher education. Sometimes even young people get sick and worry about their health. Or perhaps you are concerned about the health of your parents. We can also get upset if our father loses his job, or if we suddenly have to move to a new town or city.
The Lord tells us not to be anxious. Rather, we should go to Him in prayer about it. But notice that when we pray, we must do so with thanksgiving, remembering that the Lord wants the very best for us. Then the Lord does NOT say that the problem will immediately go away. Rather, He promises us the peace of God. Even though the cause of the worry may still be there, we can have peace, because we have left it all in the Lord’s hands.

“Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied” (Acts 9:31).
We saw yesterday that the Lord used even the persecution that arose in Jerusalem to further the preaching of the gospel. However, God does not allow persecution to go on indefinitely. As we have also seen a few days ago, He saved one of the worst persecutors—Saul of Tarsus, and then a time of rest came to those assemblies in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria. Again, this had a good result, for instead of being scattered, there were opportunities to be built up, and to learn more of the Lord Jesus. Also, more people were saved. God works in times of persecution, and also in times of peace.
All down through the history of the church God has allowed times of persecution, and then times of peace. Then later He has allowed persecution again. We need times of persecution to remind us not to settle down in this world, but we need times of rest too, in order to be built up and strengthened spiritually.

“And Saul was consenting unto his [Stephen’s] death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad” (Acts 8:1).
“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word” (Acts 8:4).
A few days ago I referred to Stephen, a very faithful man in the early church who was stoned to death by the Jews because of his preaching. As a result of his death a savage persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and many of them were scattered here and there. You can read about this in the early part of Acts chapter 8. But what was the result of this persecution and this scattering? It only resulted in those believers preaching the word everywhere they went. Instead of hindering the gospel, the persecution only helped it.
God will never be frustrated in His purposes. He can use even persecution to help spread the gospel.

“They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace” (Jeremiah 6:14).
Yesterday we saw that it is important to follow after the things which make for peace. However, the Bible is perfectly balanced, and in today’s verse we see that the Lord was displeased with those who passed over evil behavior in order to keep the peace. They were allowing evil to go on, and not saying anything about it. This may have kept the peace among themselves, but the Lord says that this is not real peace. There is a big difference between avoiding something that might offend someone (even if doing that thing would not be wrong), and allowing some sinful behavior and not saying anything.
We have a saying in English that “silence implies consent,” and if we do not speak out about wrong behavior, others will likely think that we do not have a problem with it. It is important to remember this!

“But judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way” (Romans 14:13).
“Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another” (Romans 14:19).
What is a stumbling block? It is something that someone trips over, and falls. If we deliberately do things that we know are going to upset other Christians, then we can become a stumbling block. In Romans 14, this consisted of eating things that others felt it was wrong to eat. Many Jews who became Christians still felt it was wrong to eat certain things that were forbidden by the law of Moses, and they needed time to understand full Christian liberty. Those believers who understood Christian liberty were not to provoke those who needed time to realize this liberty.
The word “edify” means to build up, and it is the opposite of what a stumbling block does. Let us ask ourselves, In our relationship with other Christians, are we a stumbling block or a building block?

“And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them” (Acts 20:7).
We notice in this verse what was important to the early Christians on the Lord’s day. They came together to break bread! It does not seem that anyone directly told them to do this first; rather, the Spirit of God showed them that since the Lord Jesus had asked them to remember Him, it was important to honor Him first of all. Then, after they had done this, it was quite in order for Paul to preach to them. But in the Word of God, what is due to the Lord always comes first, and then what is due to man.
We should remember this order—that worship always comes first, then service to the Lord. Also, the Spirit of God led them to do it on the first day of the week—the Lord’s day. This is the day when the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, and it is appropriate that we come together on that day to remember Him. If you are truly saved, are you remembering the Lord as He has asked you to do?

“And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord…” (Acts 9:1).
“And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias…and the Lord said unto him, Arise…and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth” (Acts 9:10-11).
The conversion of Saul of Tarsus is one of the most remarkable events in the Bible. As a young man he was the strongest opposer of Christianity. He had stood calmly by when Stephen was stoned, and he wanted to stamp out the name of Jesus Christ, if he could. He was even going to Damascus, to a foreign country (Syria), to arrest Christians. But then the Lord saved him, and he became the Apostle Paul.
Someone has remarked that when Satan arranged to stone one of the brightest lights in the early church (Stephen), God’s grace picked out the very worst one responsible, and then made him an even greater servant of God than Stephen. Conversions today are not accompanied by a light from heaven, but every time someone is saved, it is a miracle of God’s grace.

“And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing” (Acts 8:39).
We are not told how long Philip was with this man, but as soon as he was baptized, Philip was caught away. Since Philip had to make his own way down to Gaza, we might wonder why the Lord caught him away in this way. I believe that it was for two reasons.
First of all, it was a positive proof to the man who was saved that Philip was speaking the truth, and that his message was from the Lord. Only God could take Philip away in that way.
Secondly, it saved Philip another trip, for Azotus is about 35-40 km. (20-25 miles) from Gaza. The Lord knows how to look after His servants, as Philip may have been tired after his long trip to Gaza. Remember, he did not have a car, or even a horse; he was evidently walking all that way.

“And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert” (Acts 8:26).
As I write this in February, 2024, the city of Gaza has been much in the news lately because of an awful war in that area over a murderous raid into Israel made by the Hamas group in October, 2023. But in the days of the early church it was a desert area, and Philip may have wondered why the Lord was sending him down there. If you read the earlier part of Acts 8, you will see that Philip had been preaching in Samaria, and many had been saved. But he went where the Lord told him to go, and found one man who was really searching for something to satisfy his soul. Philip was able to tell that man about the Lord Jesus.
It was not an easy trip for Philip to make, for it is over 100 km. (about 63 miles) from Jerusalem to Gaza. However, the Lord has His eye on individuals, as well as on crowds of people. That man was in earnest, and was ready to listen to Philip. If you are not saved, are you willing to listen to the gospel? God is interested in you too, and wants you to be saved.

“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety” (Proverbs 11:14).
“And His name [the Lord Jesus] is called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6 JND).
When people are not sure of what to do in a difficult situation, they often ask a number of people whom they respect for their advice. According to our first verse today, this is a reasonable thing to do, but if you consult a number of people, they may not all give you the same advice. Then you have to decide whose advice to take.
Our verse in Isaiah 9 tells us that the Lord Jesus has a number of names, although they are all summarized in one singular noun—His name. One part of that name is Counsellor. When we get advice from the Lord, it is always right, and we do not have to decide whether someone else’s advice is better. His counsel is always the best. Do you and I always consult the Lord about decisions we have to make in our lives?

“My son, if thou receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; if thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God” (Proverbs 2:1-5).
When I was in high school, senior students were often asked to read the scripture portion for the day over the PA system, and then lead the whole school in saying the Lord’s prayer. I remember being asked to do this in my senior year (1961), and these verses were what I was given to read. Sadly, times have changed, and schools are no longer allowed to do this. However, it was a good thing for everyone to hear the Word of God, and to pray, before classes started.
Today, you will have to read the Bible for yourself, but as I have often said before, it is good to read it every morning. It should be as important to us as eating our breakfast!

“For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord, and He pondereth all his goings” (Proverbs 5:21).
You are I are God’s creatures, for He created man in His own image and likeness (Genesis 1:26). Because we are His special creatures, the Lord is very interested on us, and how we live our lives. The word “ponder” comes from a Latin word which means a weight, or to weigh something. In English it means to consider something carefully before making a decision.
When we realize that the Lord carefully considers our ways, it ought to make us think carefully about how we live. Many people today think that since God has so many things about which to occupy Himself, He is not really interested in individuals like you and me. But even though there are about eight billion people in the world today, God is interested in each one. He is especially interested in those who are truly saved, for through the death of His beloved Son, God paid a high price to redeem us. He wants to see us living our lives for Him.

“Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?” (Acts 7:27).
“This Moses…the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer” (Acts 7:35).
If you read about Moses in the book of Exodus, he first tried to be a ruler and judge, and it did not work. The Israelites did not want him in that character. Then, forty years later, he came as a ruler and a deliverer, and God used him greatly in delivering the children of Israel from Egypt.
In the same way the Lord Jesus did not come to this world as a Judge, but rather as a Deliverer. When they tried to make Him a judge, He would not accept that position. Yes, someday He will be a Judge, for God is holy. Today He is a Deliverer, and He went to Calvary’s cross in order to be able to do that. How precious it is to remember that on this day—the Lord’s day.

“Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase” (Proverbs 3:9).
I was saved when I was very young, and I am thankful that even at a young age, my parents taught me that whenever I earned some money, or someone gave me money, I should be willing to give some of it to the Lord. It was a good start in doing what our verse today says, and since I got used to doing this as a boy, it was easy to continue to do it all my life.
In the Old Testament, under the law, the Israelites were compelled to give one-tenth of all that they received, but in Christianity we do not have any definite percentage named. It is all a matter of our hearts, and our love for the Lord. If we know the Lord Jesus as our Savior, it ought to give us great joy to use some of what we have specifically for Him, for it is He who gave it to us in the first place. The Lord really values the response of our hearts to His love!

“And I [the Apostle Paul] will very gladly spend and be spent for you” (2 Corinthians 12:15).
Paul was glad to “spend and be spent” in the service of the Lord. To “spend” means to use our resources—money, time, etc. in service, but to “be spent” means more. It means to give up our own desires and ambitions, and to “give of ourselves” in order to serve others. The Apostle Paul certainly did this in his life of service for the Lord.
Today’s date reminds me that this is an anniversary that probably none of you remember. It is the anniversary of the ascension of the late Queen Elizabeth II to the throne of England, back in 1952. Her father King George VI died of lung cancer that day, and his daughter Elizabeth automatically became queen. One of her mottos was, “To serve is not a burden, but rather an honor.” I do not know whether she was saved or not, but she certainly heard the gospel.
The Lord Jesus served while He was down here, and will remain a servant forever. What an example for us!

“And now I [Gamaliel] say unto you…if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought” (Acts 5:38).
While Gamaliel was the one voice that brought some common sense into the Jewish counsel, everything he said was not strictly true. What he said about God’s work not being able to be overthrown was true, but everything that is “of men” does not always “come to nought” (nothing). Men have started false religions, such as Buddhism and Islam, and both have flourished in this world. Both religions have many followers today. Violent and immoral men have risen to power in this world, and have managed to prosper. In His ways with this world, God sometimes allows wrong things to go on; they do not always fail.
However, we know that in the end, truth will triumph, for God is over all that goes on in this world, and will eventually deal in judgment with sinful men. But for the moment, evil may go on, and God may not immediately interfere.

“And now I [Gamaliel] say unto you…If this counsel or this work…be of God, ye cannot overthrow it, lest haply [perhaps] ye be found even to fight against God” (Acts 5:38-39).
At this time in the early church, the Jewish leaders were determined to prevent the apostles from preaching in the name of the Lord Jesus. But God had worked some outstanding miracles, including the healing of the crippled man in the temple, and then sending an angel to let the apostles out of prison. Although there is no record that Gamaliel was a true Christian, he had some common sense, and realized that God’s power was working with the apostles. He realized that the Jewish leaders might be fighting against God, and counseled them to leave the apostles alone.
Although we may not see such remarkable miracles today, yet God is still working with His people, and His work cannot be overthrown. God’s purposes will always be accomplished, for His power is behind them. There are some today who want to overthrow God’s work in this world, but God will see to it that this does not happen.

“Verily, verily, I [the Lord Jesus] say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life” (John 6:47-48).
“As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me” (John 6:57).
Throughout man’s history in this world, bread in some form or other has been a staple of food. During World War II, one of the large cities in Russia was surrounded by the enemy, and many people were starving. One woman said, “If only I could have one piece of bread and butter, I would be happy.” She wanted some bread more than anything else.
The Lord Jesus presents Himself to us as the “bread of life.” First of all, He gives us new life in Him, but then, after we are saved, that new life needs food. Once again, the Lord Jesus is our bread on which we should feed continually. We feed on Him by reading His Word and learning more about Him. Did you read your Bible today?

“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Galatians 3:27).
During a recent trip that we made, we had the opportunity of sitting in a number of airports, watching the people walk by. Quite a few wore T-shirts with slogans printed on either the front or back of them. Some of these read, “I’m NOT sorry,” “Born for greatness,” or “I need my space.” All of these slogans conveyed a message that the person wanted to communicate about himself or herself.
But then, on one occasion, we had arranged to meet a Christian young man whom we had not met before. When he approached us in the lobby of the hotel, his T-shirt had a Bible verse across the front. We knew instantly that he was the person we were supposed to meet. His “slogan” did not give a message about himself, but rather about his Savior—the Lord Jesus Christ.
When we are baptized, we put on the name of Christ. In our everyday lives, do we give others a message about Christ, either by what we wear, or how we act?

“For in truth against Thy holy servant Jesus, whom Thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel had determined before should come to pass” (Acts 4:27-28 JND).
All the world was against the Lord Jesus, for this world did not want Him. He was the light of the world, and that light reminded man that he was a sinner before God. Man crucified God’s Son, and must bear the responsibility for it.
On the other hand, God was behind the scenes, working out His will, and what man did to the Lord Jesus only accomplished God’s purposes. This does not in any way relieve man of his responsibility for rejecting the Lord Jesus, but we know that His death, blood-shedding, and resurrection were all necessary, if any of us were to be saved. At the time that man did his very worst, the love and grace of God shone out the brightest!
