The parable of the fig tree (Luke 13:6-9)

Answer Text:
Jesus told his audience the parable of a fig tree.
A man had a fig tree that grew in the vineyard for three years.
The fig tree remained unproductive.
The man told his gardener to cut it down.
The gardener promised to dig around the fig tree and put some fertilizer so that if the fig tree doesn’t bear fruits to be cut down.
This parable is warning those who listen to Jesus but they do not bear fruits or respond with repentance.
The unproductive fig tree will be cut meaning unfruitful people will be cut from the kingdom of God.
But these people are given another chance to repent just like the gardener gave the fig tree time.
