For hundreds of years, the followers of Jesus throughout the world have celebrated Christmas and the Advent season with a Jesse Tree. This tradition walks through the story of the Messiah, from creation through resurrection. The Shoot of Jesse brings the whole tradition into a single collection.
As the nation of Israel crumbled under the weight of their own sin, God spoke through the prophet Isaiah that He would, one day, send a new and better King David, to rule the world in righteousness. The Shoot of Jesse tells the story of God creating Adam as the king of all creation, Adam’s abdication of his crown, and God’s long-term mission to reestablish a righteous king of creation. The story is presented in daily increments, from December 1st through December 25th. Each day tells a piece of the story, drawing closer to Jesus’s enthronement as King of all creation as Christmas draws closer.
Each day presents a piece of the narrative, summarized in language for both children and adults (adult discretion is encouraged). The narrative is complimented by excerpts of key passages of Scripture and contemplative visual artwork. Physical ornaments of the images are also available to accompany the book.
The Shoot of Jesse provides you with everything you need to learn the story, teach the story, relive the story, and rejoice in the story of our great King Jesus, year after year.
