What if the story of redemption has been woven through Scripture from beginning to end using one powerful symbol we often overlook? This message takes us on a remarkable journey through the Bible, revealing how trees appear at every pivotal moment in God's relationship with humanity. From the very first chapter of Genesis where God creates trees before even establishing day and night, to the final chapter of Revelation where the tree of life stands beside crystal rivers, we discover an intentional divine pattern. We encounter Moses throwing a tree into bitter waters to make them sweet, Elisha using a branch to make an axe head float, and Jesus seeing Nathanael under a fig tree before they ever met. But the most profound connection comes when we realize that the tree of knowledge that brought death in Eden finds its answer in the tree of Calvary where Jesus died. The evergreen trees we display during Christmas aren't just decorations—they're symbols of everlasting life made possible because Christ hung on a tree for our sins. This exploration challenges us to see that God's plan wasn't just about preventing Adam and Eve from eating from the tree of life after their sin; it was about preparing a way through Jesus so that we could eventually eat from that tree in the New Jerusalem. The leaves of that tree, we're told, will be for the healing of nations. Every tree mentioned in Scripture points us toward the ultimate truth: our redemption required a tree, and our eternal future includes a tree. The question for us becomes whether we're truly abiding in Christ like branches connected to the vine, bearing fruit in every season of life.
