Jeremiah 24
A short but powerful vision is written in Jeremiah 24. It begins with an image of two baskets—one filled with very good figs and another filled with figs so rotten they cannot be eaten. The vision is a profound look at what it means to belong to God.
Throughout the ages, we looked for outward signs to determine whether a person had turned away from sin. Think of Cain. After the gravity of his sin weighed him down, he turned toward God, and in response, God placed a "special mark" on him (Genesis 4). It was a clear, visible sign to the world that he had been forgiven and had turned away from sin.
Later, we see this "special mark" again with John the Baptist. He urged people to repent in a way that showed the world that their lives had changed and their sins were being washed away (Luke 3). They had returned to God, and others saw and testified of their new lives.
However, everything changed when Jesus stepped into the water with John. Jesus prayed, and the heavens opened wide. The Holy Spirit descended in the physical form of a dove, and a voice from heaven declared, "This is My Son, the Son I love, and in him I take great pleasure."
This moment showed that the "expression of a changed life" is more than a display evident to others. A new life begins within, and the "good fig" is marked by an intense, internal desire to know the Heavenly Father simply because He is God.
