“To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life,
which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”
-REVELATION 2:7
We
should
see that Christ does more than restore what Adam lost. He goes beyond
Adam, offering the Overcomers fruit from the Tree of Life, fruit Adam
knows nothing about. Obviously this is symbolic language, but what does
it mean? The Tree of Life represents the Cross, for from that Tree the
Lord yielded up His Life for us all. Those who overcome have learned
that fruitfulness and Life come from death to Self, and that is what the
Cross means. The Cross is a Tree of Life to those who embrace
it.
