^“He also spoke this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none. ⁷ Then he said to the keeper of his vineyard, ‘Look, for three years I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none. Cut it down; why does it ^[a]use up the ground?’ ⁸ But he answered and said to him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it. ^9 [b]And if it bears fruit, well. But if not, after that you can cut it down.’ ” Luke 13:6-9 (NKJV)

A healthy fig tree is a symbol of full, vibrant health- both spiritually & physically. Throughout Christian Scripture (44 references in all) the fig tree is considered a symbol of prosperity, wellbeing, & security for the people of Israel. Resting beneath the comforting, cooling shade of your own fig tree was to experience a deep sense of safety, peace, & wellbeing. Conversely, as you may guess, a barren fig tree was considered a sign of lack of prosperity, wellbeing, & blessing for the nation. Today, the abundance of fig trees in Israel is a sign in itself of a much anticipated, soon arriving restoration.

Fig trees, like many fruit trees, don’t grow fruit overnight. A fig tree’s growth to full maturity- bearing the best fruits & the healthiest green leaves- requires purposeful, intentionally focused time to cultivate & nurture. In fact, it may take many years! To achieve its showiest best, every once in awhile a fig tree needs nurturing from a well trained vine-dresser who sees it’s hidden strength & beauty (most especially during times when the tree is struggling to flourish) & knows how to encourage the fig tree to draw out its hidden inner strength. Over time, the fig tree’s vibrancy signals that a dedicated gardener has come up alongside the tree, faithfully tending to its growth over those many years. In turn, the vine-dresser’s compassionate & devoted attention empowers the fig tree to show off the brilliant, vibrant self it has always been but could not find on its own. It’s a powerful partnership with spectacular results!
