The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)
Day 159: Bearing Fruit (2025)

He says, okay, basically, you know, at some point, the time is going to be up. At some point, at some point, the landowner is going to return. At some point, you're going to look for figs on the fig tree and there needs to be fruit. And that's what Jesus is saying. At some point, I'm going to come again and I need the fruit to be there. Moving on, just because it's so good.

Day 159: Bearing Fruit (2025)

When Jesus cleanses the temple, there's something powerful about this because not only is he revealing that his father's house, this temple area is a house of prayer, but also when you were baptized, you're made into a temple of the Holy Spirit. You're made a temple of the Holy Spirit. And so now the living temple, you're walking around as a living temple.

Day 159: Bearing Fruit (2025)

And one of the things that Jesus does is he cleanses the temple. And so we have to allow ourselves not only to bear fruit in his name, but also to be cleansed by him, recognizing that what does Jesus say is not my father's house. My house shall be called the house of prayer for all the nations. You've made it a den of robbers.

And so in my life, again, if God has made my body into a temple of the Holy Spirit, he made your body a temple of the Holy Spirit. That means with our body and in our bodies, we need to use them to glorify him. So much so that that's actually God's destiny for us in eternity.

Because in chapter 12, it tells the story about the Sadducees coming to Jesus and challenging the idea of the resurrection of the body. Now, the Sadducees and the Pharisees disagreed on a number of things. The Sadducees only believed in the first five books of the Bible, the first five books of Moses, and they didn't pay attention to any of the other books, at least didn't consider them inspired.

And so they had some disagreements when it came to between the Pharisees and the Sadducees. Among those disagreements were about the resurrection of the body, about angels, that kind of thing.

whose wife is she in this so-called resurrection of yours? And Jesus, you know, he gives him a harsh burn. He says, is not this why you are wrong? You know neither the scriptures nor the power of God. But basically in heaven, there is no marriage because marriage is meant to get you to heaven.
