Different takes

Tonight we were talking over Luke 13:6-9, the parable of the fig tree being given one extra year. I'd thought of it as a warning that (contra the prosperity gospel), having lots of material and even apparent spiritual goods might be a sign that this was your last chance. Someone else looked at the context ("but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish") and suggested that the vineyard-keeper was the one repenting from not having done his job taking care of the fig tree.
