He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" And His disciples were listening.I have to admit, this story sits a bit uneasy with me. I have to wonder why Jesus cursed it. He had to have known it wasn't the season for figs.
I hate to say this, but was Jesus anger justified? He found a tree in its natural condition, and got angry because of it. If this were not Jesus Himself, I'd be accusing Him of sin. But if it wasn't sin, what was it? It doesn't make sense to be only an object lesson for the disciples, not with this reaction.
