What's the meaning of such a sad parable ?

Of course I have no doubt that teologians knows the answer wink


I think it's about being ready for your meeting with God. If you meet God when you are not ready (i.e. in a state of unrepentant sinfulness), like the fig tree wasn't ready for Jesus, you're likely to hear similar words...

I agree that it's a bit harsh on the fig tree, who really had no choice in the matter, it's just a guess.
