    Lessons from the Fig Tree Luke 13:6-9 * As a primary in Sunday school, my teachers taught me to define a parable in this way: “It is a earthly story told by Jesus which has a heavenly meaning.” I guess the only way I would amend this is to say that it has a “divine” (instead of heavenly) meaning. ...read more
