What does the Bible say about resting under the tree?

Answered in 2 sources

Resting under the tree refers to finding peace and salvation in Christ and Him crucified.

The phrase 'rest under the tree' in Genesis 18 symbolizes resting in Jesus Christ and the work He accomplished on the cross. In Galatians 3:13, it mentions how Christ was made a curse for us, emphasizing the completeness of His sacrifice. Under this tree, believers find relief from guilt, the assurance of forgiveness, and assurance that their sins are washed away. It’s a spiritual resting where the soul can find peace and assurance in God's grace.
