Two Trees – 1
If the Bible were only about salvation by grace, it would be a lot shorter. It is about a growth from childhood to maturity, from nakedness to glory.
Jesus grew in wisdom and stature. That goes back to the two trees in the garden, bread (obedient priesthood) and wine (kingly wisdom).
Jesus carried the people of God through Adam’s testing (breaking the bread), beyond the tree of life, to the tree of wisdom (poured out wine).
‘of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God’ (1 Cor. 1:30)
‘in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.’ (Col 2:3)
He is both trees, and now we eat and drink Him freely before God.
