Jesus Christ = “The tree of Life”, where is that in the Bible???

As all you know, or at least the people that at one time where a part of TLR, that there is a very high emphasis put on the ideology of “we must choose to eat of the tree of life”, and don’t be like Adam and Eve and choose the wrong thing.

However, unless I’m mistaken, there isn’t a single verse of scripture that equates Jesus Christ to the tree of life, nether calls Him the tree of life. I don’t care about symbolism or typology, nether do I care about some interpretation that says so. As far as I know and doing some studies on the matter, there is only 12 times that the tree of life is mentioned in the Bible, and not one of those referring to Christ!

The reason I’m posting this is to find out if anyone here can or had done some studies about it and has some input.

Just a side note, I’m not interested in any recovery bible verses, or footnotes, or quotes. I have a very strong suspicion where all this comes from, but was hoping to get some feedback first to see if it connects the dots.

Thanks.
