Jesus having never sinned, took on the full weight of all sin
At the same time He carried the Tree of Life on his back to a place outside the city.
As a man, He then nailed Himself to the Tree of Life, reconnecting man with God, His Father, in eternity.
The pureness of His blood, atoning perfectly and fulfilling completely, God’s law, to justify man.
Jesus gave up His own life, as a sacrifice for man.
His perfect love covered all sin.
He pearced His side, to make an opening, for us to come into Him.
Jesus was buried to complete His death and to bury all sin.
After three days He rose from the dead, defeating death for man.
Once again, the Tree of Life ( Jesus ) stands in the midst of men.
Once again, we have access to eat of the Tree of Life.
Once again God commands us to eat of Him and not to eat from the tree of evil ( satan )
Because God is love and free will is love, he wants us to choose, to love love ( Him, true, perfect love ).
Only then can we truely love.
Just as He first loved us, we discover our first love, God our Father, through Lord Jesus Christ.
We then walk hand in hand, in the beautiful garden He created for us in perfect love, eating from the Tree of Life. Amen.
Genesis 2:15-17 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it youshall surely die.
John 6:53-58 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.
Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.
This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
1 John 4:19 We love Him because He first loved us.
John 15:13 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another.
Hebrews 13:12-13 Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate. Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach. For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.
Revelation 22:1-5 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.
They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.
There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.
Revelation 2:7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”
John 14:6. Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
