The owner of the garden (The barren fig tree Luke 13:6-9)
No one likes it when someone tries to tell them what to do with their property, it is mine and you have no business telling me how to manage what is mine. You can make suggestions, give me some ideas, or even volunteer to help me but how dare you demand I do something I do not what to do with what is mine. In this parable put forth by Jesus there is an owner of a vineyard who has someone who is running his property for him. When he comes and checks on the property, he notices that there is a certain tree that has never produced any fruit so he suggests that it be cut down so it does not just rob nutrients from the ground that the other trees could use. The manager of the field suggests that he give it a little more time and he will show it some TLC and see if he can get it to produce and if not, they will get rid of it. Jesus was dealing with some individuals who refused to admit their faults and told them this parable to reveal to them that they were unfruitful and on the verge of being removed from the place in which God had planted them.
Psalm 24:1 tells us that the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, so who are we to tell Him what to do with what belongs to him. God has placed each of us exactly where he wanted us to be placed (time/place/etc) in His garden and expects us to produce fruit in due season. Jeremiah 1:5 and Psalm 139:13-16 tells us that God intricately designed all of us in our mother’s wombs for His purpose. We all have a designated purpose in God’s eternal plan, and we are all His creation, so shouldn’t we expect Him to want a return on His investment. Jesus told many parables about the fact that we are all given stewardship over the talents that God formed us with and that when He returns to collect on His investment, He is expecting a return. We like to think that we have power and authority to do what we want with our life but, we only have life because the Creator gave it to us, and He has the ultimate authority to do with His creation as He pleases. He specifically designed a redemption plan to redeem mankind and give them an opportunity to restore what our rebellious behavior destroyed, all we must do is accept and be committed to His Son Jesus
