Why Jesus Cursed the Fig Tree: How Matthew, Mark, and Luke Reveal Three Different Judgments

This blog explores the meaning of Jesus cursing the fig tree by comparing how Matthew, Mark, and Luke uniquely arrange the events surrounding the triumphal entry, temple cleansing, and judgment narratives to emphasize different theological truths. Matthew highlights judgment on corrupt religious leaders, Mark focuses on the coming destruction of the temple, and Luke emphasizes judgment on Jerusalem itself, while ultimately revealing God’s call to repentance, humility, unity, and restoration through Christ.
