Word for the Week
“Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’ 8 “‘Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.’” Luke 13:6-9
“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12
Dear Friends and Members of IBC,
In this week’s Word for the Week, we reflect on Jesus’ parable of the barren fig tree and what it teaches us about the precious amount of time God gives us on this earth.
As we read Luke 13:6-9, we get an immediate sense of urgency. Jesus has just been speaking about the need for repentance (“repent or perish!”) – people can die unexpectedly, we can’t presume upon tomorrow. Time matters.(...)
