About this Bible story

In Luke 13:6, Jesus told a story about a fig tree. He said, 'A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard.' The man wanted to find fruit, but it had none. This parable teaches us about patience and growth.

β€œA man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard.”

β€” Luke 13:6 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While your class colors the fig tree pages, ask them, 'What does it mean to bear fruit in our lives?' Highlight how the man in the story was looking for fruit, which ties back to our own growth in faith. Have crayons and markers ready for a fun 30-minute activity that reinforces the lesson.

More about these Bible coloring pages

The fig tree parable coloring page is a wonderful addition to any Sunday school lesson. One image shows the man inspecting the tree, while another illustrates his disappointment at finding no fruit. The kids in my class, ages 7 to 9, really engaged with the theme of growth and expectations. We discussed how Jesus used this story to teach about our lives and faith. As we colored, we reflected on the verse, 'A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard.' (Luke 13:6). It was touching to see their understanding deepen through art. We're using these pages to reinforce the lesson, and I plan to keep a few in my binder so we can revisit them next quarter.
