In this captivating episode of "That's in the Bible?", we journey back to the very beginning, to the Garden of Eden, to explore one of the Bible's most intriguing and often overlooked elements: the Tree of Life. First mentioned in Genesis 2:9, this remarkable tree held the incredible promise of eternal life for those who partook of its fruit.

Join host Eric Sutton as we welcome Pastor and Missionary to the Arctic, Matthew Sutton, to delve deep into the significance of this ancient tree. We'll tackle the fundamental question: was the Tree of Life a literal, physical tree – and can the Bible itself provide evidence for its reality?

While the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil often takes center stage in the Genesis narrative, leading to humanity's fall, we'll uncover the profound implications of the Tree of Life and its connection to God's original design. Discover what this ancient symbol of immortality has to do with us today and how it remains surprisingly relevant in our modern lives – in a truly exciting way!

Does the story of the Tree of Life end in the Garden? Prepare to be amazed as we trace its reappearance later in the biblical narrative, revealing a powerful connection to our ultimate hope and future. This is a crucial study that sheds light on God's eternal plan and offers a fresh perspective on the very essence of life itself. Don't miss this enlightening exploration into the mystery and significance of the Tree of Life!
