Revelation 22:2

Revelation 22:2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruit, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, he was cast out of Eden, lest he should also eat of the tree of life; but our new "tree of life" yields us both medicine and food. Blessed are they that eat of it; they shall find a divine variety of mercies: "twelve manner of fruits." They shall find a constant succession of blessings: "and yielded her fruit every month." And there shall be an ever-present power of healing: "the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
