What does it mean that Christ is the Tree of Life?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ as the Tree of Life symbolizes sustenance, healing, and eternal life for believers.

Describing Christ as the Tree of Life emphasizes His role as the source of spiritual nourishment and life for His people. Just as the tree bears fruit and provides healing leaves, Jesus offers life-giving sustenance to believers. This concept connects to the image of the tree in Revelation 22, which gives its fruit and leaves for healing; it illustrates how Christ meets every need of the believer—spiritually and physically. He provides protection, sustenance, and healing, demonstrating that all aspects of His being are meant for the benefit of His people. This portrayal points us towards eternal life, affirming that through His death, He has become the very source of our eternal hope.
