how did the fall come in Eden it came through a tree so there’s got to be a tree in our Redemption what is the tree it’s got to be a tree that answers the tree of Eden the tree is the [Music] cross now notice something the fall of Man begins with eating the Redemption begins with a supper dinner last supper it begins with partaking and what did Messiah partake of he part of a cup of what fruit So Adam partook of fruit Messiah partakes of crushed fruit and he will be crushed in it and then you know Messiah partakes of
fruit you know when when when Adam partook of the fruit he was driven from the garden Messiah partakes of fruit and then he he goes to a garden The Garden of Gethsemane come on and in that Garden he says take this cup he’s talking about the cross take it from me if it’s your will but nevertheless your will be done he’s basically saying yes to the cup so for him the cup you know you know Adam partook of of that fruit it partook of something that tasted good Messiah is saying this is horrible but I’m saying yes to it it’s the undoing it brings
life now on the now on the time of man’s fall the day of man’s fall he before it happened he was naked they were naked when I say Adam it stands for both Adam and Eve by the way it means man he’s naked and then at the end of it after they fall they’re clothed so what happened with messiah in Redemption Messiah was clothed but then they stripped him naked and by that we are redeemed how did the fall come in Eden it came through a tree so there’s got to be a tree in our Redemption what is the tree there got to be a tree that answers
the tree of Eden the tree is the cross what is a cross a cross is a tree in fact in Hebrew There’s no distinction Hebrew the word say the word etss means tree that’s the word for tree the Tree of Life SS is tree but SS also means wood a steak an execution steak same thing in the New Testament it says he died he hung on a what tree the cross is a tree interesting because in Eden through a living tree we die death but in Messiah through a dead tree we are given life amen yeah you can praise the Lord now at the same
time what tree now what tree caus death it was the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil now people ask why is there evil you know you because God God didn’t make well God you know God did not make us puppets if we were puppets it wouldn’t it wouldn’t mean anything if we were robots it wouldn’t mean anything but he made us to choose him but in order to choose him the risk is you got to have a choice not to choose him you got to have there’s good and there’s evil so you got the knowledge of Good and Evil but once they partake of it the
evil becomes real becomes real so here is a tree think good and evil all converging on a tree kind of strange that a tree is linked to Good and Evil but what is the cross the cross more than any other object in the universe is the embodiment of Good and Evil evil sin judgment the murder of God what is more evil than that and yet it’s God dying for you in love to save you from judgment to Heaven what is more good than that there’s nothing more evil and there’s nothing more good the cross is a tree of Good and Evil come together
that’s why he died taking all the sin of of the world upon himself now in Eden the serpent brought man Adam and Eve brought them to the tree got them to partake in the tree got them to join themselves to that tree and by that they die spiritually judgment comes the sin comes so the serpent is also linked to the tree well well interesting because what was behind the getting what did the serpent do the serpent was in it and of course God was above it but certain was in it the serpent enters Judas enters the Roman soldiers they take he takes
