This Advent Season our theme is “Home for the Holidays”. We have many wonderful holiday traditions that we follow. The Jesse Tree is an ancient tradition that we are resurrecting this year. We will base our devotions on the Jesse Tree scriptures readings that come from this tradition. Each weekend our children will place ornaments on a tree that represents symbols used in the ancient days. Ornament packets will be given to the children to color at home and will be available for adults too. Match the ornaments pictured with each devotion to the ornament packet you or your child were given.
The picture above is a replica of a Jesse Tree. Jesse was the father of David, who was blessed by the prophets to establish a royal family. One thousand years later, Jesus was born of this royal line in Bethlehem. The Jesse Tree is the family tree of Jesus. It tells the story of His lineage through symbols and readings from scripture, one for each day of Advent. Over the next 29 days we will post the devotions written by our own members who will inspire you with their thoughts. May you be blessed through these scriptures & devotions as Advent unfolds and the celebration of Christ’s birth becomes a reality.
God’s Peace
