Because our God is full of grace, you find yourselves in better conditions than your father Adam. His were wonderful. Yours are unspeakable. There are many similarities: He walked with God in an Edenic Temple, and you have come to the New Eden of God. God gave him food, and He feeds you now. The lust of the flesh and eyes, and pride of life, reared their ugly heads then, and they attempt to do so now. But Christ has made all things new, and you should come to this food rejoicing in that newness.

For the forbidden tree was within the temple in Eden. Adam’s sin was in grabbing its fruit before God welcomed him to it. But the tree of life and the tree of wisdom both are planted before you now, and Christ says, “Come and eat.” Christ has declared all foods clean. Now, man can still feed on his lusts and pride if he chooses. And if he eats the vapid offerings of the world, he will remain hungry. But the man who has brought his heart to this temple will find life, wisdom, and blessing hanging on every branch, with Christ Himself saying, “Come and eat.” So come in faith and welcome to Jesus Christ.
