The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
Armstrong concludes that the Parable of the Barren Fig Tree is to teach us more patience and attempt to give second chances. The parable stresses that to do nothing is to do harm. The Gardeners compassion for the tree, and the fact he did not give up hope, shows giving up hope does nothing. This parable is to warn us not to blame nature, rather than nurture.
