Tree of Life

A quick thought from a Bible study tonight on Genesis 3: it is interesting how, when Adam and Eve eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they eat with rebellion in their hearts and bring curses upon themselves, the ground, etc. This curse though is amazingly undone with Christ and it is undone in the same way as it was originally done, by eating. Before Christ hung on a tree, he told us that we were to eat of his body and drink of his blood. Then he proceeded to be hung, naked, on the cross (the tree). Essentially, when we eat at the Lord's Table, we are eating of the fruit of the tree of life, or we are eating of the Body of Christ which was hung on the tree, only now instead of rebellion, we are eating in faith. Every Sunday we go to heaven, and if we have the priviledge of having communion during our stay there, we get to eat from the tree of life. Glory of Glories!
