The Tree of Israel: Christmas Trees

Jesus once cursed a fig tree—and it wasn’t because He was having a bad day. It was a living picture of a deeper story.

Throughout Scripture, Israel is described as God’s vine—planted, cared for, and called to bear fruit for the world. But when the vine failed, God didn’t abandon the story.

At Christmas, the promised Branch arrived—and that Branch grew into the True Vine.

And Jesus, the Vine, invites His followers to be branches—abiding in Him, allowing His life to flow to us, and producing fruit for others.

The message: Where we see a dead, cut-down stump, God sees new life. 🌱
