Understanding the Tragedies (Verses 1-5)
• The Assumption of Sin: Why do you think the people told Jesus about the Galileans killed by Pilate? Were they implying that those victims were worse sinners?
• Suffering vs. Guilt: According to Jesus, is suffering always a direct result of personal sin? How does He challenge the "bad things happen to bad people" mindset?
• Sudden Mortality: How does Jesus use the tragedy of the Tower of Siloam to emphasize that death can be sudden and unexpected for everyone, not just "great sinners"?
• The Universal Call: Why does Jesus say "unless you repent, you too will all perish"? What kind of "perishing" is He warning about—physical or spiritual?
The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree (Verses 6-9)
• Expectation of Fruit: The owner expected fruit after three years. What "fruit" is God looking for in our lives today (e.g., repentance, obedience, or character)?
• The Intercessor: Who does the gardener/vinedresser represent in his plea for "one more year"? How does this show God’s patience and mercy?
• Wasted Soil: The owner asks why the tree should "use up the soil." In what ways might a life without "fruit" negatively impact others or the community?
• The Final Chance: The parable ends before we know if the tree bore fruit. Why do you think Jesus left the ending open? What does this mean for the listener’s own life?
Personal Reflection & Application
• Self-Examination: Do you ever find yourself comparing your "sin level" to others when you see them going through hard times? How does this passage correct that?
• Defining Repentance: In your own words, what does it mean to "repent" (Greek: metanoeĊ)? Is it just feeling sorry, or does it require a change in direction?
• The "Extra Year": If you knew this was your "one more year" of grace to bear fruit, what would you change about your life starting today?
• Spiritual Care: The gardener offers to "dig around and fertilize" the tree. What spiritual "nutrients" or disciplines do you need to help you grow more fruitfully?
