Sin Began & Ended with A Tree

“And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Eve saw that the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil was delightful to look upon and desirable to give insight, so she took its fruit and ate it.  She gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he also ate it.  Immediately, their eyes were opened, and they realised they were naked, vulnerable, and ashamed; so they sewed fig leaves together for coverings.  Man’s sin began with a tree and ended with a tree.  Although there was nobody on earth but Adam and Eve, yet they knew they were naked, nobody told them!  The Shekinah glory that covered them, was taken away.  Fig leaves are a picture of whatever we hide behind to cover our shame.  The works of man only partially covers sinfulness - this being the first attempt to cover sin.  The fig tree was the only thing Jesus cursed while on earth.  The robe of righteousness that Jesus clothes us in is perfect for those who eat of fruit of the Tree of Life, which is the Cross of Jesus Christ.  Christ has redeemed us from the curse by hanging upon the tree that we might be blessed with God’s life and righteousness and be covered by His glory again.  Thank You Jesus!
