Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

In the beginning, when there was no death, there was a tree of life. All the other trees -- except for one -- could feed Adam and Eve and the children they would have. But these were not trees of life. There was only one tree that could do that. But instead of eating from the tree of life, Adam and Eve decided instead to eat of that other tree -- the one with death in it. And so now, in Christ Jesus there is again a tree of life. Jesus has restored us. Now, the Body and Blood of Jesus. The Bread of Life.
