There’s nothing worse than trying to eat a fruit that hasn’t reached its ripeness yet. If you bite into it and it’s not quite ripe, you don’t get to experience the juicy flavor that it could offer at a later time. It’s interesting that there are moments when Jesus will relate a topic to a fruit that’s ripe. In today’s teaching, Pastor Johnny points to an instance when Jesus was sad about a situation. He likened it to eating unripe fruit. It tasted bitter and unsavory and His sadness reminds us that Jesus felt things deeply.
