Jesus and His disciples were on their way to Jerusalem, when Jesus stopped to look for figs in this tree…but there weren’t any, which was very odd. Fig trees in this region of the world usually had fruit on them year round. So the next morning , as they passed by the fig tree again, they saw it was withered up. Jesus had cursed this tree to make a very pointed comparison between it and the fruitlessness of Israel. As Isaiah lamented…”All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good.” (Isaiah 65:2)
