In Genesis, God explains as to how all humans must face death. For most people death seems a part of the natural process and so they don’t think much about how to solve it. People will exercise, eat healthy, and visit the doctors many times throughout their life so that they can maintain a long life. However, these solutions are only temporary and cannot definitely fix the problem. But for God, who sees the miserable fate of mankind, earnestly wishes for us to seek the truth of life. Then where can we learn this truth of life? Let’s visit the site where death originated and see the a solution.
Genesis 2:16-17 Here, we can see humans must face death because they disobeyed the command of God. This even took place in the Garden of Eden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil resulted in death. Then, what action will result in life? Genesis 3:22 Eating from the tree of life, we can have eternal life and solve the solution to death. But how to eat from a tree that seems nearly impossible to exist?
Jesus said in Matthew 13:34-35 that He came to reveal the truth that has been hidden since creation by speaking in parables. John 6:53-54 If we eat Jesus’ body and drink His blood we can have eternal life. And the only way to eat His body and blood is through the Passover supper Matt 26:17-19, Matt 26:26-27. Clearly, in order eat from the tree of life giving eternal life we must eat Jesus’ body and blood through the Passover. In other words, Jesus’ body and blood is the reality of tree of life in the Garden of Eden. This is the truth of life He wanted to reveal since the creation of the world.
To sinners destined to die the gospel, or good news, is the opportunity to receive life again by eating the tree of life. The way given us to receive this life is through the Passover of the New Covenant. However, this Passover has not been celebrated since the time of Christ. It has been until now that this Passover is celebrated. It is celebrated by the members of the Church of God World Mission Society established by Christ Ahnsahnghong. Christ Ahnsahnghong taught the only way to receive eternal life is to eat from the tree of life that was blocked since the creation. Only those who receive the body and blood of Christ can have a right to eat from the tree of life Rev 22:14, Rev 7:13-14. Let us give absolute thanks and praises to God Ahnsahnghong who gave us the opportunity to eat from the tree of life by celebrating the Passover of the New Covenant. Amen.
