Today we find that a fig tree that doesn’t bear fruit will be cut down. It is a parable that has significance for all of us today! It appears that if we aren’t bearing fruit we will be cut down as well… Yet, there is hope! Even for the barren fig tree, there was a chance for renewal, for growth, and for fruitfulness. God offers us the same opportunity through His Son Jesus Christ. Through repentance, prayer, and a deepening of our relationship with God, we can experience spiritual renewal and begin to bear fruit that is for our good and that glorifies God.
