The Cross is the Tree of Life
When Jesus walked the earth, I imagine it much like when God walked in the Garden (Genesis 3:8). At first there was joy being around His creation. Then that final walk for each came because of sin, and the sin brought deaths. Because of sin Adam and Eve walked away from the tree of life, and then Jesus walked towards the tree of life! Yes, the cross is a tree of life!
“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness; you have been healed by His wounds.” (HCSB 1 Peter 2:24)
