And now the very much anticipated reality of the Tree of Life written in the Garden of Eden:
John 6:53-54 "Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
We know that Jesus ALWAYS spoke in parables, but how can we call a parable what He called the truth? Then what is the true way to have eternal life? (Jesus's flesh and blood.)
Whoa, whoa, whoa - we're not canibals here. How can we REALLY have Jesus's flesh and blood? Surely God is not asking us to literally eat from Him. Even so, Jesus already ascended to heaven over 2000 years ago. There must be some way that He fulfilled His promise of eternal life? Let's see the way he promised His flesh and blood:
Matt. 26:26 "While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body."
27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. 28This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
By now it should be understood that this verse is NOT talking about communion, since it didn't exist yet, but for those newcomers out there:
Matt. 26:17 "On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
18He replied, "Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, 'The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.' " 19So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover."
This verse is previous to the verse with the bread and wine. Being that they were preparing Passover earlier and the next verses we see them eating, obviously they must have been eating the Passover Feast. However, it was Passover night that Jesus took the bread and wine and called it His flesh and blood. (Mind you, it was God's word that said, "Let there be light, and there was light. The same word is now saying the Passover bread and wine represents Jesus's flesh and blood.) then we can conclude that through the Passover, Jesus offers His flesh and blood through the bread and wine of the Passover.
Yet, what was the result of eating Jesus's flesh and blood in the book of John? (Eternal Life) Then using the idea: A=B, B=C, then what is also true? A=C. Likewise, the true way to have eternal life is to celebrate the Passover.
Then how is Passover related to the Tree of Life? Please stay posted!

Through Passover we can get the Eternal life. Because Jesus promised that bread of Passover is his flesh, wine of Passover is his blood. Let's keep the Passover for our salvation
