What lesson do you think Jesus taught the disciples by cursing the fig tree?
By cursing the fig tree, Jesus taught the disciples to have faith, and not doubt his power. When we pray the Lord willingly will answer our prayer and we will receive all what we ask for.

What lesson do you think Jesus taught the disciples by cursing the fig tree?
i think God wanted to show to the disciples that if you are a worthless person doing nothing worthwhile in this world you can perish so easily. but on the other hand he also wanted to show to the disciples that if you have faith, nothing is impossible all things you wish and desire that is pleasing to him will certainly be granted, praise GOD!

What lesson do you think Jesus taught the disciples by cursing the fig tree?
Jesus taught the deciples three lessons. ''1''--Despite that the time for the tree to produce fruit is not yet reach.That every child of God must be alert for the work of His father at any point in time. ''2''--Jesus taught them that they should have faith without no doubt, for by so doing they can even do more than the work He did. ''3''--With my on exprience, Jesus was passing a DIFFICULT time on that moment for HUNGER catched HIM, it was what attracted His attention to the fig tree.That whenever you are in a difficult situation focsse your attention on God, mind you it is also an easy way of knowing He who is on the Lord`s side, EXAMPLE Job. Remember what Isaiah 43:1-3 said when you are passing difficult time in your life I am always with you.

What lesson do you think Jesus taught the disciples by cursing the fig tree?
The lesson Jesus was teaching his disciples that a tree is not usefull when it does not bear fruit and that needs to be cast out. Meaning that as a disciple your job is to preach the word and make it know so if you dont do what is expected of you you will be like what Jesus did to the fig tree

The Fig Tree Withers

Now in the morning, as he returned to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, "Let there be no fruit from you forever!"
Immediately the fig tree withered away. When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, "How did the fig tree immediately wither away?"
Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don't doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it would be done. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."

Matthew 21:18-22
