"Bear Fruit of Repentance"
Luke 13:6-9
In the Old Testament, a fruitful tree was often used as a symbol of godly living (Psalm 1:3, Jeremiah 17:7, 8). Jesus pointed out what would happen to the other kind of tree-the kind that took valuable time and space still produced nothing for the patient gardener. By this illustration Jesus warned His listeners that God would not tolerate forever their lack of productivity. Have you been enjoying God's special treatment without giving anything in return? If so, respond to the Gardener's patient care, and begin to bear the fruit God has created you to produce.
