witness of the Gospel of truth and love</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="hh-post-content"> <p>Readers of the New Testament are familiar with St. Paul’s description of Christ as the “Second Adam.” It is an example of the frequent Apostolic use of an allegoric reading of the Old Testament (I am using “allegory” in its broadest sense – including typology and other forms). Christ Himself had stated that <em>He</em> was the meaning of the Old Testament (John 5:39). Within the Gospels Christ identifies His own death and resurrection with the Prophet Jonah’s journey in the belly of the fish. He likens His crucifixion to the serpent raised on a staff by which Moses healed the people of Israel. Without the allegorical use of the Old Testament – much of the material in the gospels and the rest of the New Testament would be unintelligible.</p> <p>Orthodox Christians are very accustomed to this manner of handling Scripture – the hymnography (largely written during the Patristic period) of the Church’s liturgical life is utterly permeated by such a use of allegory. The connections between New Testament and Old – between dogma and the allegory of Scriptural imagery is found in almost every verse offered within a service. Those who are not familiar with the Eastern liturgical life are unaware of this rich Christian heritage and of its deep doctrinal piety and significance.</p> <p>In the Feast of the Holy Cross, the hymnography at one point makes the statement, “The Tree heals the Tree.” It is one of the marvelous commentaries on the life of grace and its relationship to the human predicament. It refers to the relationship between the Cross of Christ and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The latter was the source of the fruit that Adam and Eve consumed that was the source of their fall from grace. The “Tree that heals” is none other than the Cross of Christ.</p> <p>I am struck particularly by this treatment of Biblical imagery. The meditation does not say that the Cross <em>destroys</em> the tree whose fruit, along with our disobedience, brought the human tragedy. The Tree <em>heals</em> the Tree. In the same manner, the Kingdom of God does not destroy creation – it makes it whole.</p> <p>There is a tendency within our lives to view failure and disasters (whether self-inflicted or otherwise) as deep tragedies that derail our lives and the world around us. Our heart becomes confused when the thought of “if only” takes up residence. But the Tree heals the Tree. In God, nothing is wasted.</p> <p>It is the spiritual habit of the Church’s liturgical life to see the story of Christ in everything. Every story involving wood or a tree seems to find its way into the hymnography of the Cross. The same is true for many other images. I believe this way of reading Scripture is also a key to the Christian life. Our hearts are such that they generally do not see the Kingdom of God – we see only the tree and our disobedience. But Christ Himself became sin that we might become the righteousness of God (2 Cor. 5:21). He took our life upon Himself that He might bestow His own life upon us. Thus Christ has entered all things that He might make all things new. Nothing is wasted.</p> </div> </div> <div id="hh-likes-marker"></div> <div class="recomended"> <div class="hh-aside-info-row clearfix">  <div class="social_but fb"> <div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="90" data-show-faces="false" ></div> </div>  <div class="social_but tweet"> <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button">Tweet</a> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs");</script> </div> <div class="social_but social_help_button"> <a href="https://www.pravmir.com/donate/" target="_blank">Donate</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="hh-aside-info-row clearfix"> <div class="hh-social-share-container clearfix"> <div class="hh-share-block-text">Share</div> <div class="hh-share-block-buttons"> <div class="yashare-auto-init" data-yashareL10n="ru" data-yashareType="none" data-yashareQuickServices="twitter,lj" ></div> </div> </div> <div class="hh-get-code-container"> <button id="get_code" class="get-code-button"><\> Code for blog</button> </div> </div> <div class="hh-aside-info-row hh-get-code-textarea-container clearfix"> <textarea id="info_content" rows="8" onClick="this.select();" class="hh-get-code-textarea"><div style="border:1px solid #d3d3d3; padding:12px 15px; clear:both; background-color:#F6F6F6; font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.pravmir.com" title="Pravmir.com" style="float: right; display: block; border-bottom:0; padding-left: 10px; padding-bottom: 5px; text-decoration:none;" > <img border="0" src="https://www.pravmir.com/wp-content/uploads/pravmir-static-files/pravmir-logo-get-code.png" alt="Pravmir.com" title="Pravmir.com" style="border:0" /> </a> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.pravmir.com/the-tree-heals-the-tree/" style="text-decoration:none; border-bottom:0;"> <img style="float: left; margin:0 20px 10px 0; " src="https://www.pravmir.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/cross-decorated-168x112.jpg" alt="The Tree Heals the Tree" /> </a> <p style="font-size:12px;"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.pravmir.com/the-tree-heals-the-tree/"><strong style="font-size:20px; font-weight:bold;">The Tree Heals the Tree</strong></a></p> <p style="font-size:12px;"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.pravmir.com/the-tree-heals-the-tree/">Archpriest Stephen Freeman</a></p> <p style="font-size:12px;"><a target="_blank" href="https://www.pravmir.com/the-tree-heals-the-tree/">Readers of the New Testament are familiar with St. Paul’s description of Christ as the “Second Adam.” It is an example of the frequent Apostolic use of an allegoric reading of the Old Testament (I am using “allegory” in its broadest sense – including typology and other forms).

More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website. However, resources for editorial are scarce. In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription. It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong. </p> <p>Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service, weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers. Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible - Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable. </p> <p>For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little? A cup of coffee? It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir. </p> <p>If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month, they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ, Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society. </p> </div> <div class="hh-donation-block-v8__page-link-button-container"> <a href="https://www.pravmir.com/donate/"
