What did Jesus say about His being on the tree?

The symbol of Jesus being lifted up on a tree is the only one that the Bible offers as a door to the eternal. As Jesus said, “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” (John 12:32) Through the Messiah’s death, we are offered life. Through his sacrifice, our sin is forgiven. None of this works without a tree.

The wood of the cross recalls the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and the tree of life in the Book of Revelation.​

Why is it important that Jesus’ cross be referred to as a “tree”?

Trees are featured throughout the Bible, but in particular, there are two very important trees that are related to the cross of Jesus.

Tree of Life in Eden​

In the Garden of Eden, there are two trees, one that gave life, and the other called the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis 2:8-9

These trees were designed for the benefit of humans, and were part of the original paradise.

Tree of Life in Revelation​

While Adam and Eve are banished from the Garden of Eden, through Jesus Christ the gates of Heaven are opened and there is located another tree of life.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Revelation 2:7

The Cross as the Tree of Life​

The Church has interpreted from the very beginning that Jesus’ cross is that “tree of life” for us in the present moment, from which we will eat the fruit of everlasting life.

Galatians 3:13: “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”

If only the religious leaders had remembered that to execute anyone by Gods' law, he had to

have committed a sin worthy of death Deu.21:22
Our Savior wasn't looked as a curse by our Father, but he was by sinners who falsely accused him of blasphemy.
Our sweet Savior ransomed, or bought us back by being slandered.
Our dear Lord is so forgiving, it says,
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Isa.53:7

If Jesus, our God, had opened his mouth in judgement according to the law, those mocking him would have been cursed hanging on trees.

1 Peter 2:24: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”

Love, Walter

I do love it Walter. I wonder if he still has the scars from those sins? Well, Paul had them (Gal.6:17.)
