Trees. (Part 4)

As we marvel at the grandeur of the Kauri tree of NZ, the sequoia’s or the World’s Largest Cashew Tree and the towering Brazil nut tree, we can find spiritual lessons intertwined with their magnificence. These remarkable trees symbolize the abundance and sustenance provided to us in the physical realm, reflecting the divine provision and care extended to our lives.

Just as these trees bear fruits that nourish our bodies, we are told there exists a tree of life with fruits far more extraordinary in their spiritual significance. This celestial tree, described in the book of Revelation, bears twelve kinds of fruit, representing the fullness and completeness of God’s blessings and provisions for His redeemed children. Unlike earthly trees, the tree of life yields its fruit every month, ensuring an everlasting supply of spiritual sustenance.

Through God’s grace and the redemptive work of Christ, we have the incredible opportunity to partake in the fruits of the tree of life. Eternal life and access to this tree are granted to those who embrace the salvation offered by Jesus. Just as the World’s Largest Cashew Tree derives its strength and sustenance from a central trunk, we find our spiritual sustenance and life-giving connection through Jesus, the true Vine.

In the presence of the tree of life, we are invited to taste the fruits of eternal fellowship with God. These fruits represent the attributes of the Holy Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Through our relationship with Christ, we are transformed, and these fruits become evident in our lives, allowing us to reflect God’s nature and bring nourishment to those around us.

Just as the branches of the World’s Largest Cashew Tree touch the ground and take root, we are called to extend our spiritual influence and impact in the world. As branches connected to the true Vine, we have the responsibility to bear spiritual fruit, sharing the blessings and abundance we have received from God with others. Our lives, rooted in Christ, can be a source of nourishment, encouragement, and hope to those who are in need.

The Sequoias, the NZ Kauri, the world’s Largest Cashew Tree and the towering Brazil nut tree stand as reminders of God’s provision and the beauty of His creation. They invite us to contemplate the spiritual significance of the tree of life and our participation in its abundant fruits. May you embrace the invitation to partake in the eternal life offered through Christ, allowing His love and grace to flow through us, and becoming channels of blessings to a world in need.
