God is good

i read genesis 3 yesterday. i prayed that God would reveal to me something i hadn't seen there before. He is faithful.

22 And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." 23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, we can have eternal life. God has led us to the tree of life, to take and eat of it.

when i thought of eating of the tree of life, i thought of communion. we eat and we drink of the tree, the bread, of life. and we drink of the blood He poured out for us.

God opened my eyes to look at a passage that i've read numerous times in a different light. how the old testament relates to the new. God's revelation helps me to remember that Jesus was His plan all along.

God is good.
