Bible Question (short): Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? |
Question (full): I'm curious about the passage from Mark 11:12-26. In verses 12 through 14, it sounds as if Jesus curses the fig tree because He was hungry and the tree did not yet have figs. Later on, when Peter notices that the tree has withered, it appears that Jesus is using this example to teach the disciples about the power of faith. But, I wonder, why didn't Jesus just command the tree to bear figs instead of cursing it? |
