Fuel is frequently used figuratively as a symbol of total destruction. Disobedient Israel is portrayed as “fuel for the fire” (Isaiah 9:19; Ezekiel 15:6; Ezekiel 21:32 ). For Jesus, God's extravagant love evidenced in clothing grass destined to be burned as fuel with beautiful flowers illustrated even greater care for human beings (Matthew 6:30 ).
