But If You Don't

And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; and would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine. And when even was come, he went out of the city. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.-Mark 11:12-26***When Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was in the region of Jerusalem with his disciples, including Simon Peter, he revealed to them the relationship between prayer, forgiveness, the Lord God in heaven, and trespasses. Over 1,400 years earlier, the Lord God was giving judgments, statutes and laws to Moses for the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. The Lord God revealed trespasses, sinful offenses, to be thievery, idolatry, adultery, lying, turning away from the Lord God, refusing to testify as a witness, involvement in fraudulent acts, contact with uncleanness, and neglecting to fulfill an oath.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 5:1-7:38, 14:1-57, 19:1-37, 26:1-46, Numbers 5:1-6:27, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, Colossians 1:1-2:23
