A Lesson from a Fig Tree

(Matthew 24.32-35; Mark 13.28-31)

²⁹ Then Jesus told them a story:

When you see a fig tree or any other tree ³⁰ putting out leaves, you know that summer will soon come. ³¹ So, when you see these things happening, you know that God's kingdom will soon be here. ³² You can be sure that some of the people of this generation will still be alive when all of this takes place. ³³ The sky and the earth won't last forever, but my words will.
