How long would you keep planting and tending a garden if there was never any produce? No tomatoes, cucumbers, or melons. No lettuce, peppers or carrots.
How long before you gave up and plowed it all under. Maybe it would be a nice patch of grass?
In the parable of the fruitless fig tree in Luke 13:1-9, Jesus connects the parable to the problem of people suffering deadly disasters. People assumed that those who died in sudden gruesome ways must have incurred God's wrath. Jesus tells us truth - that we are all in the same kind of jeopardy. Our fate just hasn't caught up to us yet.
So what should we do?
