Contrasting the Two Trees

The following is not meant to be a theological exposition but rather, thoughts that came during my time in the Word.

From reading Romans 5:12-21
I have been thinking of how it was necessary for Jesus, in His humanity, to retrace the steps taken by the first Adam from the beginning. Just what does that look like in scripture? What are some of the parallels? Lets start at the beginning.

I would like to start by examining the parallel of the trees.
In the garden after Adam sinned by eating the fruit offered by Eve they hid themselves (so they thought) behind the trees. (Gen 3:7-8) So the story goes today as man attempts to hide himself from the presence of God. We go from Adam hiding behind a tree to Christ being crucified on a tree. Bookends, if you will, in redemptive history. From the first Adams willingness to sin and hide behind some"thing". That "thing" being a living tree to the second Adam being nailed and left naked for all to see. Nailed to the front of a dead tree. As Adam and Eve fashioned loin cloths from fig leaves in an attempt to cover the sin and shame that rightfully belonged to them to our Lord having no sin of His own , yet covered with the weight and wrath of sin that belonged to us. God came searching for the first Adam as he hid himself behind the trees (Gen3:9) to God turning His back on the second Adam. (Mark 15:34)
Adam ate the fruit of the tree that was desirable and pleasing to the eyes (Gen3:6) and that was the beginning of the bondage of sin for humanity.
Jesus drank the gall (sour vinegar) which was on a sponge attached to a branch of a hyssop tree. After He received this He said it was finished. In Christ there is an end to the bondage of sin.
In the life of the first Adam, there was a problem with a tree and in the life and death of the second Adam there was a solution to be found on a tree.
Adam ate-Christ drank- bookends.
