having a daily life of the New Jerusalem: drinking from the river of life and eating the tree of life!

This morning I thoroughly enjoyed the fact that today we as believers are living the life of the New Jerusalem today! What we see in Revelation that happens in the New Jerusalem is / should be our experience today – only on a smaller scale! In that day when we arrive at the ultimate consummation […]

Through His death, Christ opened a new and living way to God, the tree of life!

This morning I enjoyed the fact that even though man fell in the garden of Eden, even though we are born fallen and we sin spontaneously, God in His mercy and according to His plan came as a man in the Lord Jesus and He opened the way to the tree of life! In the […]

God’s eternal purpose as revealed in the seven figures in Genesis 2

While reading and enjoying Genesis chapter 2, with the help of the Life-Study and the footnotes in the Recovery Version, I was impressed with the seven figures presented in Genesis 2.

I’m still considering the picture in the garden of Eden, which is actually what is going on within us today: we are being put in front of the two trees daily – the tree of the knowledge of GOOD and evil, and the tree of life. The simple fact that God cares so much about […]

We need to eat Jesus every day as the tree of life, He is our real food!

God’s original intention in His creation of man can be seen in Genesis – after He created man, He placed man in a garden with lots of trees good for food! God gave man only one “commandment” – take care of your eating! Don’t eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, […]
