Questions for Further Study
Getting to Know YOU
1. Can you think of a time when someone extended the Tree of Life or the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil towards you? How did that make you feel? Did it have an affect (negative or positive) in your life? Explain.
2. Has there ever been a time when you allowed the other trees in the garden of life crowd out the Tree of Life in your walk with the Lord? If not, how did you keep the proper perspective? If so, how did it happen? How did you self-correct?
Passage to Ponder
1.Read Revelation 22:1-3. In light of what you have learned about the Tree of Life, what is the heavenly promise in this passage?
Show Me the Way
1. How about others? Do you live by the Tree of Life as witnessed by your extending the Tree of Life towards others who struggle or mess up in their walk? How so?
2. Have you ever struck out at the Rock, Christ Jesus? Have you ever taken your anger at others, the devil’s doings, or circumstances of life out on Jesus? How so? How do you correct that wrong-doing against your Savior?
