A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any.
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? »
But the winemaker replied:
“Sir, leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.”
(Read Luke 13:1-9)
It has been many years since we were baptized, so where are the fruits of the word of God that we have learned?
And if we don’t bear fruit like this fig tree, do we deserve to perish immediately?
In principle YES, but our Lord « is patient with us, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. »(2 Peter 3:9)
However, let us not abuse God’s patience, let us repent today and now, for, regardless of the times of ignorance, God « now commands all people everywhere to repent. »(Acts 17:30)
PRAYER:
Our Father who art in heaven, give us strength and courage to repent now.
It is in the precious name of your son Jesus Christ that we pray, Amen.
