In early mornings, spiritual analogies come to me. I write them down, even if for an audience of one.
When Jesus healed the eyes of a blind man, Jesus made clay out of dust and his spit and rubbed it on the man's eyes. "What do you see?" Jesus asked him. "I see men as TRESS walking. Then Jesus rubbed the blind man's eyes again and said, "What do you see now?" - "I see men!" exclaimed the man. He was healed.*
Now some preachers say, "Jesus didn't heal the man perfectly the first time, he didn't see clearly" (as if Jesus' power was not operating at 100%). But I say, Jesus healed the man so beyond physical healing that he saw into the spiritual realm! And that's why he saw men as trees, because that's what trees represent in the Bible, spirits. Jesus is the "Tree of Life."
When trees are uprooted, are they alive? Are they dead? Think. What determines an uprooted tree's life or it's death will depend on whether the uprooted is watered, regardless if it's replanted in soil or not. Trees may live without soil, but they cannot live without water, if a tree does not recieve water, it will die eventually.
We are all like trees walking. Are we drinking of the "Water of Life"?
Jesus said, "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." ~John 4:14
