What did Jesus say about His being on the tree?

The symbol of Jesus being lifted up on a tree is the only one that the Bible offers as a door to the eternal. As Jesus said, “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” (John 12:32) Through the Messiah’s death, we are offered life. Through his sacrifice, our sin is forgiven. None of this works without a tree.

The wood of the cross recalls the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and the tree of life in the Book of Revelation.
Why is it important that Jesus’ cross be referred to as a “tree”?

Trees are featured throughout the Bible, but in particular, there are two very important trees that are related to the cross of Jesus.

Tree of Life in Eden
In the Garden of Eden, there are two trees, one that gave life, and the other called the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

These trees were designed for the benefit of humans, and were part of the original paradise.

Tree of Life in Revelation

While Adam and Eve are banished from the Garden of Eden, through Jesus Christ the gates of Heaven are opened and there is located another tree of life.

The Cross as the Tree of Life
The Church has interpreted from the very beginning that Jesus’ cross is that “tree of life” for us in the present moment, from which we will eat the fruit of everlasting life.

Much like ducks, and witches; trees and crosses are made out of wood.

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:10-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.”
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭21:22-23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭18:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭3:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For the wages of sin is death;

but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:23‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭2:21-25‬ ‭

“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:4-6‬ ‭


“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬

to sin is to die , the worst sinners were hanged in a tree as a warning to the others about the wages of sin others were burned alive , had limbs cut off were strangled , stoned to death pierced through because of thier sins all a message of the law that the wages of sin is death

Jesus does for all sinners to pay that price under the law for thier sins even the worst who should be hanged on a tree as a curse , he became tbat substitute for us in the tree

The best of us killed for the worst of us it this time as an exemple of how to live and please God

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:20-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jesus was treated as the worst guilty sinner under law even hanged upon a tree as a warning he’s been through the worst of it with us the worst we could know under law as sinners yet he never sinned he went through it on our behalf even as he hanged on the tree he loved us
