Thy Strong Word From Kfuo Radio

Rev. Steven Theiss, retired LCMS pastor in Frohna, Missouri, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Mark 11. Why does Jesus ☧ make such a scene coming into Jerusalem? Why does He get so angry at the fig tree? Mark 11 reveals that ☧’s actions were calculated and full of symbolism, revealing the true nature of the authority of the Messiah. His words about the fig tree are really about the Temple, destroyed not even forty years later. The ☧’s authority goes beyond external appearances, to the very heart of what’s real and what matters most. This is the authority that absolves us of sin as we participate in the Ascension of our Lord in the Office of the Keys.
