Revelation of the Word:

THEME: TREE OF LIFE

Genesis 3:22

“Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”

INSIGHT

-Tree of life in Hebrew is written as Etz Ha-Cha’yim. From the Hebrew syntax of this verse, one can learn that man had to choose between living eternal life or receiving knowledge. When Adam ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he became like God knowing good and evil. God in His trinity said that the tree of life would be withdrawn from him lest he eats of the tree of life in a state of sin and be condemned forever. Jesus came to save us from sin so that we may not die in sin but receive everlasting life. The two contrasting trees remind us of the dreams that the butler and the baker had in Genesis 40. While the butler saw a vine tree in-front of him with three branches and pressed the ripe grapes into Pharaohs cup, the baker saw three white baskets of baked goods and birds ate them from his head. The butler was restored back to his position but the baker was hang, and birds ate his flesh from the head. Christ is the Vine and we are His branches. The Vine can be likened to the Tree of life who is Christ. While Judas Iscariot had a chance to repent and receive Christ, he condemned himself by hanging like the baker. We are called to come to Christ in repentance and through the washing by His precious blood we will receive the gift of salvation leading us to everlasting life.
