Lesson 469: THE TREE BY THE RIVER SIDE (Ps.1:1-3) Part 1

INTRODUCTION:
Trees are conspicuous in the Scriptures. They are referred to in parables and used as analogies. As we begin this new series, may the Lord bless us richly in Jesus name, Amen.

1. TREES ARE RICH IN SYMBOLISM.
Several Trees are mentioned in the Scriptures. Prominent among them are the Trees of life, of the knowledge of good and evil, olive, vine, fig, palm and cedar. Many of these are used as symbols to teach us great truths
Ps .1: 1-3, Gen.2:9, Pro.3:13, 18; Prov. 11: 30; Pro.15:4; Ps112:15; 65:22, Hos.14:5-.6; Mt.24:32-33.

2. A TREE IS KNOWN BY ITS FRUIT
A tree is known, not by its sizes, color or even leaves. A tree that bears fruit is fulfilling its purpose on earth and will find favor with God.
Luke.6.44, Jam.3:I2, Mt 13:31-32, Mt.7:17, Mt.7:18-19; Judges. 9:8-15, Mt. 12:33, Isaiah 56:3-5
