Did Jesus

Seem to say something,

That sounded so

Un-Christlike?

Because if fruit

Was truly out of season,Mark 11:13

Then why curse

The fig tree?

To understand,

We need to know a few

Fig tree facts

First.

Fact:

Fig trees

Bear two crops.

The breba crop,

Matures in early Spring

Before the leaves appear.

It is very small,

And inferior.

While the main crop,

Which are the true figs,

Ripens in the Fall.

Fact:

A fig tree,

With no breba crop

In the Spring,

Will not bear

True figs in the Fall,

The tree,

Is totally barren.

Okay,

So what are we

To think then?

That Jesus cursed

The fig tree,

Because it made

Him angry,

Because He was

So hungry?

No,

Not at all.

Instead,

It was because

It symbolized

The lives of the Pharisees,

By identifying,

Why they bore

No fruit.

No spiritual fruit.Galatians 5:22-23
