What does the Bible say about resting under God's tree?

Answered in 1 source

Resting under God's tree symbolizes finding peace and comfort in Christ and His finished work on the cross.

In Genesis 18, Abraham offered rest and refreshment to the Lord and His angels under a tree, which serves as a powerful symbol in Christian theology. This tree represents Christ and Him crucified, inviting believers to rest in the knowledge that their sins have been atoned for and they are reconciled to God. As the New Testament writers refer to the cross as a tree (Acts 5:30, Acts 10:39), it signifies the ultimate source of comfort and refuge for the weary soul. By resting under this tree, Christians acknowledge that their salvation is complete in Christ, allowing them to cease from their own works and find solace in His grace.
