I Saw You Under The Fig Tree

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 23, 2024

What did Jesus see under the fig tree, and what was Nathaniel doing there? Maybe Nathanael was in a quiet prayer time under the fig tree, and Jesus saw or heard Nathaniel’s prayer. "I saw you under the fig tree" means I saw you in your quiet time alone with God under the fig tree.

When God removes the sharpness, it is like a dull knife that cannot be used to cut, but instead leaves scars and marks on the ...read more
