What lost its original purpose? Immediately, I thought of the tree of life, which man was barred from in Genesis 1:22-24 because of sin, but will be restored to those in the body of Christ who are “overcomers” [faithful], even when facing certain death (Revelation 2:7,10; Revelation 22:1-2).
What still needs restoring? A sense of urgency in spreading the gospel of Christ (Acts 16:8-9 – note the word “immediately”).
