Revelation 22:2
On each side of the river
stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of
fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the
leaves of the tree are for the healing of the
nations.

Fruit Fruit isn't just for here on
earth. We will enjoy fruit in heaven as
well. It's not thought of much but there
were two trees in the garden of Eden. Adam
and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good
and evil. They were banned from the garden
because of this. God didn't want them to eat
from the tree of life and live eternally in
their sinful state. We will taste of the
fruit of the tree of life in heaven where sin
and death have been eradicated. The fruit of
the tree of life is plentiful as well.
Unlike most plants, it bears its fruit year
round, month after month. It is abundant
to meet our needs in heaven. Because we want
others to participate in this harvest, we are
faithful to God in being fruitful. We work
to harvest the fields that are ripe. We
plant the seeds of the gospel in others and
nurture it until it bears fruit. And we
eagerly look forward to the day when we will
share the fruit of the tree of life with all
Christians. |
