One More Chance

Jesus told the story of a man who found no fruit on one of his fig trees. He told his gardener, “This tree hasn’t born fruit for three years. It’s useless. Cut it down!”  The gardener replied, “Leave it alone, sir, one more year and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it. If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then I’ll cut it down.”

This story contains truth for us today, as well. God gives us good things and expects to see spiritual growth in our lives. So what happens if we are fruitless like that fig tree? God warns us and extends his patience. But he won’t be patient forever.

If you are a fruitless tree about to be cut down, take this opportunity to change – to confess your sin and grow with God. You may not get another chance!
