I find these verses interesting

  1. Mark 11:20
    Next morning, as the disciples passed the fig tree he had cursed, they saw that it was withered from the roots!

  2. Mark 11:21
    Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said to the tree on the previous day and exclaimed, “Look, Teacher! The figtree you cursed has withered!”

It could have been a fig tree, y'all, Jesus came to stop the evil from with in us, first born to know good and evil. To choose beleif to God through Son for us, thanks
I don’t think it was a fig tree because Adam and Eve sewed a covering for themselves with fig leaves…. which is symbolic of righteousness.

Jesus Christ cursed the fig tree because He found no fruit on it, only leaves which was symbolic of the sin of Israel… looking righteous on the outside but dead on the inside… no belief, no humility, no love for God or people.

Which still leads to doing away with Sin. Thanks for this input about the leafs, time to leave evil, thank you,
Yes they did cover up with fig Leafs, used Fig leafs, to hide that they knew they were naked. As God said who told you you were naked? As if God did not already know. The humility of God, me seeing to be accountable to me to be honest

So, he did take away sin on that cross for all, done once for all. Wow, thanking Father and Son as Won for us to be new in the risen Life given us.
Thank you for being a part of opening up scripture a little deeper to me
