The Jesse Tree begins with a reference to the stump of Jesse, which represents the lineage of Jesse’s son, King David. But this Advent tradition isn’t really about Jesse, David, and their descendants. The Jesse Tree stories emphasize God’s faithfulness throughout generations. Each day uncovers a new account of how our Sovereign God preserves this family line to ensure the coming of Jesus, whose birth we celebrate at Christmas.
