God created man and woman, and they began their journey in the garden. In the midst of that Garden of Eden were two trees more beautiful than the rest. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life—what joy for the man and woman to come to these trees and worship God, giving thanks for His good and gracious gifts. But one day there was an unwelcome visitor to their worship service: Satan. He had things to say, things which seemed wise. They were lies, but the man and woman listened and sin came. Adam and Eve were exiled from the garden and from the tree of life. How they longed to return to the garden and the beautiful tree, and God promised that He would lead the way. Jesus Christ leads us from one garden to the next and from one tree to the tree of life in the courts of heaven. It is a hard and treacherous journey for our Leader, and it required a stop at another tree: the cross. The evil Satan, who used a tree to bring sin into world, was conquered by another tree, and our sin was washed away. Join us Wednesday, March 14 at 7:30PM.
