JESUS PAID OUR DEBT
John 12:31 "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out."
JOHN 12:31
There is still a future judgment of the world coming, where the wicked will be separated from the righteous and cast into the lake of fire. This verse refers to the sins of the world that were about to be placed on Jesus and that He would suffer our punishment.
Jesus suffered the punishment for our...

THE POWER TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE
John 12:31 "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out."
JOHN 12:31
The only reason Satan ever had any right to become a prince or rule over us was because we yielded ourselves to him through sin (Rom. 6:16). Since Jesus "bore our sins in His own body on the tree" (1 Pet. 2:24), Satan no longer has power or authority over those who accept Jesus' gift of salvation. Satan has been "cast...

CHOOSE TO BELIEVE
John 12:39-40 "Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them."
JOHN 12:37-40
This could be interpreted as the ultimate teaching in predestination. That interpretation would be that these people...

BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED
Matthew 21:19 "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away."
MATTHEW 21:18-19
The Greek word for presently means "instantly; immediately; soon." However, the disciples didn't realize that the fig tree had died...

OUR WORDS ARE ALIVE
Mark 11:14 "And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it."
MARK 11:14
Notice that this verse says that Jesus "answered" this fig tree. The tree had not spoken to Him verbally but it communicated that it had figs by the leaves on it. It is a fact that a fig tree should have figs by the time the leaves are evident. A fig tree actually produces green figs before the leaves...

THE WORD PRODUCES FRUIT
Matthew 21:14 "And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them."
MATTHEW 21:12-14
When we, who are the temple of the Lord, are occupied with the cares of this life, the needs of others are not met. However, when we are cleansed (Jn. 15:3), then the Lord can accomplish His ministry through us.
Jesus tells us not to worry or be anxious about our material needs being met. It...

WORKS DON'T SAVE
Mark 11:16 "And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple."
MARK 11:16
Only Mark points out that Jesus would not suffer anyone to carry any vessel through the temple. No explanation is offered by Mark as to why Jesus would not allow this. It is probable that Jesus wanted His Father's house to be dedicated completely to prayer and the ministry of God....
