The grounding relationship between the Word and the land looks forward to eternity to fully reveal, but this list will introduce you, at least, and grow your acquaintance with gardening in the Bible. The First & the Forever Garden Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? … The Scriptures tell us that the Son of God began His sufferings in a Garden and brought them to a close in a Garden. That is an absolutely amazing display of God's wisdom. After all, Jesus is the second Adam undoing what Adam did and doing what Adam failed to do (Rom. 5:12-21; 1 Cor. 15:47-49). He is the Heavenly Bridegroom, entering into His sufferings in a Garden for the redemption of His bride, the Church. He is the Heavenly Gardener, giving Himself to the cultivation of the souls of His people through His atoning sacrifice and continual intercession. When He hung on the cross, He spoke of Glory under the name of "Paradise"--an evident allusion to the paradise in which our first parents dwelt and the paradise from which they fell. He is the second Adam who, by the shedding of His blood, secured the New Creation.

From kuros; supreme in authority, i.e. controller; by implication, Master.Meditation on these truths ought to make our souls to sing. These truths should stir up within us greater love to the Christ who first loved us. They should make us long to go to the One who tends to and tills the soil of our souls. We are a garden to our God and Father, and Jesus in our heavenly Gardener who cultivates the sweet fruit of the Gospel in us. You may have heard the phrase “Life began in the Garden” but which garden and where? After the LORD God had finished creating the Universe, the sky, the stars, the land and the sea, as well as all the creatures within it, He created man. And the LORD God placed him in the Garden and asked him to tend it. The first garden, the first gardener, and the beginning of the first occupation of Mankind – gardening.
