He then pronounces a curse on the tree. Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if perhaps he would find anything on it; and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for figs. He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!”

Unlike Jesus' other parables, the main lesson of this one is stated upfront: God wants us to pray and not give up (or “lose heart,” v. 1). “Losing heart” is a product of the weariness that comes from living in a sinful, hostile world. Sometimes we are tempted to lose heart because of the injustice we see all around us.
