The Tree of Life

"The tree of life vision is the central message of the Book of Mormon." - President  Packer

The message is to come unto Christ (the tree)
Other parts of the gospel relating to trees/Christ.

• When Christ was crucified He was nailed to a tree
• Graphting (see Jacob in the BOM)
• Christ is grown inside of us
• If you do not keep the commandments you will be cut off (from the tree)
• In wickedness nothing grows
• When Moses and his people were in the wilderness the water was bitter so they put a tree in the water to make it sweet. (Exodus 15:22-25)

You may feel that you cannot go back to the rod but you ALWAYS can.
If you hold onto the rod long enough it turns into Christ's hand to pull you in.
You have help when you really need it from the other side of the veil.
