Mk. 11:12-14, 20-22
"May no one eat fruit from you again"
This act of cursing a fig tree is a warning for us. What Jesus saw in the temple was despicable to Him. This temple was no longer a 'house of prayer for all nations,' but a 'den of robbers.' Jesus had come looking for fruit among His own in Jerusalem, but found none. Jerusalem, and its people had lost its purpose-to be a light to the nations. God's only recourse, 40 years after Jesus' death and resurrection, was to use Rome to destroy Jerusalem and the temple. Jesus' cursing of the fig tree was a warning to God's people not to neglect His purposes.
