There were many trees in the midst of the Garden of Eden!
1. Give me a T for the trees.
2. Give me an R for the rush of the stem of a root.
3. Give me an E and tell everyone about the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
4. Give me an E and you got a tree in the middle of the place called Eden.
5. Give me an S and tell me about the special meaning of the tree.
That’s what a tree means to me. And let’s remember a tree has permanent wood, a.k.a bark. Trees are God’s greatest gift to Earth; they give us oxygen, food, shelter, and carbon capture. Trees produce almost all our fruits, like apples, pears, and peaches.
One day a special tree appeared in the middle of the Garden of Eden. It was named the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. That sparks the question of whether God really warned Adam and Eve not to eat from that tree and if fruit from that tree represents and affects our lives with sin. Further, can a tree help us with being obedient or disobedient about life on Earth and having a relationship with God?
That was God’s only command in Eden. But that doesn’t answer whether God really said “Don’t eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil because when you do all humankind will die physically, spiritually, and emotionally.” I think we’re still looking for the answer.
