We began in a garden.
We sinned first in a garden.
It had to do with a tree.
Jesus did battle in a garden and won.
Jesus hung on a tree.
His tomb was in a garden.
In the middle of our eternal city there is a garden with a tree with leaves that heal the nations.
"O all ye who pass by, behold and see:
Man stole the fruit, but I must climb the tree;
The tree of life to all, but only me:
Was ever grief like mine?"
George Herbert
I think I'll look at trees differently after this, at least during this Easter season. So clarifying. Thanks, Steve.
