The Eucharist the new fruit of the tree of life

Revelation 22:1-2 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

	Fruit of the Tree of Life	The Eucharist
Tree imagery	from the tree of life (Gen 3:22)	Jesus's body sacrificed (Lk 22:19) on a tree (Acts 5:30) i.e. the wooden cross
Brings eternal life	eating the fruit (Gen 3:22)	eating the bread of eternal life (Jn 6:51)
Only to be eaten when reconciled to God (in a state of grace)	Adam and Eve could eat the fruit from the tree of life before the fall (Gen 2:16) but after the fall they were prevented (Gen 3:22-24)	can be eaten (Mt 26:28) because Jesus has reconciled us to God (2 Cor 5:18-21), but eating it unworthily brings judgement (1 Cor 11:27-29)
