Why the Olive Tree?

Why the Olive Tree?

The olive tree is one of the strongest trees.

When the dove returned to Noah after the flood, the olive branch had flourished. In Romans 9 - 11 the olive tree is the symbol of the spiritual heritage of the Jewish people.

By God’s grace, Gentile believers now share equal participation in God’s promises of eternal life and blessing--not Abraham's covenant made with the Jews only.

Through faith in the Messiah, both Jew and Gentile draw equally from the spiritual roots that represent Israel’s historical relationship with the one true God
