Lessons in Trees

The disciples sat at the feet of Jesus where He explained parables and spoke from firsthand experience with the Father. The Son of God, who had all the knowledge of the kingdom of heaven at his fingertips, said to the disciples, “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door” (Matt 24:32-33 NIV). Many of us love holding the Word of God, the Bible, in our hands, but we tend to forget that God also has lessons written in creation.
