par<strong>to</strong>ok of the Tree of Knowledge of Good <strong>and</strong> Evil,<br />

<strong>and</strong> their eyes were opened <strong>to</strong> see their nakedness.<br />

Their eyes were opened <strong>to</strong> see their failures <strong>and</strong><br />

shortcomings, their lack <strong>and</strong> their inadequacies, their<br />

sin <strong>and</strong> their shame.<br />

But our Lord Jesus was res<strong>to</strong>ring all that was lost<br />

in that garden. I believe when He broke bread for the<br />

two disciples, He was letting them <strong>eat</strong> from the Tree<br />

of Life, the tree that God had wanted man <strong>to</strong> <strong>eat</strong><br />

from. Our Lord Jesus is the Tree of Life, <strong>and</strong> when<br />

we partake of His broken body, we are <strong>eat</strong>ing from<br />

the Tree of Life. That is why the moment the two<br />

disciples <strong>to</strong>ok the bread, their eyes were opened, <strong>and</strong><br />

they knew the Lord Jesus. The apostle Paul also<br />

prayed that our eyes may be opened, that we may see<br />

Jesus, that we may truly have a revelation of His<br />

love (Eph. 1:17–18; 3:18–19). I had been searching<br />

the Scriptures for years <strong>to</strong> find out more about the<br />

Tree of Life <strong>and</strong> was so excited when the Lord<br />

showed me this.<br />

After the two disciples par<strong>to</strong>ok of the Tree of<br />

Life, I believe something happened <strong>to</strong> their bodies:<br />

they were infused <strong>and</strong> energized with the<br />

resurrection <strong>life</strong> of Christ. This was why they could<br />

rise up that very hour <strong>to</strong> walk back <strong>to</strong> Jerusalem<br />

(Luke 24:33), covering fourteen miles in one day
