Thank you for visiting the site again.  I hope you will find the word of God easy to understand and the truth about salvation.  Salvation is the most important thing for us.  That is why God left the Bible to teach us how to be saved.  Then, what was God’s teaching of salvation for us who must face death?  Let’s see in the Bible.

First we must understand where death originated and from what?

Gen 2:16 God commanded the man not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.  He said if they eat of it they will die.  But as we know they did eat from it, and because of this all men have to die (Rom 4:15).  Then the origin of death occured in the Garden of Eden.  Then where could the solution of death be?  Did you ever think there was a solution to death?  For God, nothing is impossible.  God did give a solution to death, and it also is in the Garden of Eden.

Gen 3:22-24 God gave the Tree of Life as the way to have eternal life.  Only by eating of it, can we solve the problem of death and live forever.  But how can we eat from the Tree of Life?  First of all it was blocked by God…Second, no one has ever found this tree in the world before…-then…does it really exist?

Matthew 13:34-36 Jesus spoke all things in parables, and spoke parables since the creation of the world.  A parable is a story with a hidden meaning, not a literal story.  Then the Tree of Life must be a parable that Jesus spoke to teach us about a hidden meaning.  Then what is the real meaning of the Tree of Life?  What must we eat from to have eternal life?

John 6:53 According to Christ, we have to eat His flesh and drink His blood, then we can have eternal life.  But in the Garden of Eden to have eternal life was to eat from the Tree of Life…but in John, Jesus said to eat His body is to have eternal life, that means the Tree of Life is His body that He gives for our eternal life.  That is why He said we must eat it.

But how can we eat His body and blood?

Matt 26:17, Luke 22:14 Jesus celebrated the Passover with bread and wine saying “this is my  body, this is my blood, take and eat.”  Here, on the Passover, Jesus gave His body and blood for our eternal life.  It is only by celebrating the Passover that we can have eternal life and eat from the Tree of Life.  Jesus body and blood is the solution to death which was kept secret since the creation of the world. 

I hope you where able to share in God’s teaching today.  If you have comments or questons, just post them.
