“We've Got A Job To Do”
Text: Luke 13:6

Scripture Text: Luke 13:6 Then Yeshua gave this illustration: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit but didn’t find any.

John Wesley's Notes-Commentary for Text: Luke 13:6

Verse 6

[6] He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

A man had a fig tree — Either we may understand God the Father by him that had the vineyard , and Christ by him that kept it: or Christ himself is he that hath it, and his ministers they that keep it. Psalms 80:8. etc.

Speaker: Pastor Jeremy Schultheiss
