Jesus Curses the Fig Tree

“May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” — Mark 11:14

This striking artwork captures a rare and powerful Gospel moment—Jesus confronting a fig tree full of leaves but bearing no fruit. His gaze is intense, holy, and filled with purpose. As He reaches toward the tree, His divine authority meets His human hunger—reminding us of the mystery of the Hypostatic Union: Jesus Christ, fully God and fully man.

More than a scene, this is a living parable. It invites us to examine the fruit of our own lives—calling out spiritual pretense and inviting true repentance.

When Jesus saw a fig tree full of leaves but no fruit, He cursed it—and it withered.
This prophetic act revealed a powerful truth:

➡️ God desires fruit, not just appearance.
➡️ A faith that looks alive but bears nothing is empty.
➡️ We are called to bear spiritual fruit that lasts.

Let this tree be a mirror:
Are we all leaves… or are we growing fruit for the Kingdom?
