The overlooked, rejected, merciful Tree

I invite you to read a poem I have written.

The overlooked, rejected, merciful Tree

The Tree of Life and the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil
Were amongst the many trees in the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve could eat from any tree, except one,
But they chose to eat from it anyway,
Now their bodies would age, and decay.  

After they had rejected God and His commandment,

And had eaten from the tree that came with death,
They could no longer remain in Eden & eat from The Tree of Life 
Their lives now destined for misery and strife.  
It was a tree, that Jesus was nailed to,
A lifeless dead tree
Used to bring pain and death,
He endured, so that we could be set free.

For many hours He hung on this tree,
His death granting us a New Covenant with His own blood
What sacrifice,
Grace came into the world, as a flood.

He died on this tree and his spirit returned to His Father,
Three days and three nights went by
Having the right to take up His life,
"He has Risen", was the cry!

Beautiful new life bursting forth,
The Son had rose
Ushering in hope and redemption into a dark world,
His Glorious Light glows.

Many of us have, sorrows, pasts, issues, addictions, regrets, anger, bitterness, deep hurt, confusion, a sense of loss, despair or confusion. But we can grow in Jesus – The Tree of Life.
