The Tree of Life

Heavenly Father, from the beginning of time you gave us free will, even though you knew we wouldn't always choose to love you, even though you knew it would take the death of your Son. When Adam and Eve ate from the fruit of the one tree they were not supposed to, they had to leave Eden and they no longer had access to the fruit of the tree of life. Later the tree of life would be the cross and the fruit of the tree is Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for giving us access again to the fruit of the tree of life so that we may have eternal life and know you and be with you forever! Amen.
