One more year
Luke 13.1-9Those discussing terrible events that took place in Galilee assume that the cause must rest in a sinful past. Jesus challenges this assumption and introduces another story of suffering, making the point that suffering happens in many places and for many reasons. He wants his listeners to learn from these events, not by looking to the past, but by considering their own future. He tells a parable that offers hope in terms of another chance, one more year to produce fruit.
Whether we are talking about physical seeds, or seeds in our lives – ideas or plans, change and growth takes time. It requires patience and perseverance. And, always necessary when dealing with flawed human beings, it requires prayer.
This week we explore taking time to change for the better.
