Elder Jeffrey R. Holland suggested that “the tree of life … [is a symbol] of Christ’s redemption. … The life, mission, and atonement of Christ are the ultimate manifestations of the Tree of Life” (Christ and the New Covenant, 160–61; see Griggs, “Tree of Life in Ancient Cultures,” 26–31; see also commentary in this volume on 1 Nephi 11:13–25).
