Jesus was born—not only to die. Jesus was born—so we could live the new life He offers, in the family He formed, and under His rule as King.

And this eternal life is found at the Tree of Calvary.

Jesus once cursed a fig tree—and it wasn’t because He was having a bad day. It was a living picture of a deeper story.

Throughout Scripture, Israel is described as God’s vine—planted, cared for, and called to bear fruit for the world. But when the vine failed, God didn’t abandon the story.

At Christmas, the promised Branch arrived—and that Branch grew into the True Vine.

And Jesus, the Vine, invites His followers to be branches—abiding in Him, allowing His life to flow to us, and producing fruit for others.

The message: Where we see a dead, cut-down stump, God sees new life. 🌱

Christmas isn’t just the story of a baby in a manger. It’s the story of a God who refused to give up on Eden.

In Eden, we lost access to the Tree of Life. In the temple, we only saw glimpses of it. At the Cross, the true Tree of Life hung on a tree of death.

And in the New Creation, the Tree of Life stands at the center of the world Jesus will restore.

This message walks through the entire story—from Genesis to Revelation—to show how Christmas is God stepping into our exile to bring us home.
