Jesus was cursing the tree because it was doing exactly what he created it to do--not bear fruit during that season. So instead of making it bear fruit all year round to prove a lesson he instead decides to curse it for doing exactly as he fucking created it to do.
The tree wasn't bearing fruit because he created it not to bear fruit. But instead of taking the blame himself, he blames the goddamn tree (In this case, I suppose it would be a god damned tree) Much like he blames people for not believing in him, when he could have made it so that his position as god was not in doubt.
