The Tree of Knowledge, or The Tree of Life. Which Will YOU Choose?
When we examine the Garden of Eden narrative, we often focus exclusively on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Yet Scripture reveals two significant trees: the tree of life positioned in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Yahweh's instruction to Adam was clear: eat from every tree except one. This divine command suggests Adam was intended to partake of the tree of life regularly. Instead, Adam chose knowledge over life, pursuing understanding apart from Elohim's wisdom.
This choice reveals a fundamental tension between human reasoning and divine truth. The serpent's deception centered on acquiring knowledge, yet Yahweh had already provided access to life itself. When we study falsehood extensively to guard against it, we must ask ourselves: which tree are we consuming from? Instead, we are to choose life, an intimate relationship with Yahweh.
The tree of life finds its ultimate fulfillment in Yeshua, who declared Himself "the way, the truth, and the life." Through Mashiach, we can return to that original invitation to partake of life abundant. The Word of Yahweh serves as our tree of life today, offering wisdom, understanding, and eternal sustenance when we approach it with hearts submitted to His instruction.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
