All Things Spiritual-The Apple Tree

6 months ago

Jesus in the garden had to deny himself, as seen in the Old Testament. People have problems because they cannot deny themselves from alcohol, drugs, and sexual perversion. The body of Christ has a unique position in the Kingdom of God, as seen in the Old Testament when God talked about Jacob. Jesus Christ is owner and possessor of heaven and earth, and his church is his peculiar people. The body of Christ has a particular delight in this garden, as many are the apple of his eye. The expectations from this garden are high because of the good ground planted in the sea. The psalmist wrote this verse in reference to an apple, stating that he must keep his commandments and live as the apple of thine eye. The song of Solomon 8:5 also references the body of Christ, as seen in the story of Jesus raising his beloved from the wilderness. The church provides shade for the weary soul and fruit to be eaten of.
