The Jesse Tree is a fun Advent activity that helps keep Advent and Christmas together. It helps you remember different verses from the ornaments. It tells the story from from Abraham to Jesus. The symbols represent stories in the Old Testament of either an ancestor of Jesus or a prophecy foretelling his coming. The concept is based on The Bible passage Isaiah 11:1- 2, which says, "But a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, and from his roots a bud shall blossom. The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: a spirit of wisdom and of understanding, a spirit of counsel and of strength, a spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord." The branches of the tree begin at the bottom, represented by Jesse and end at the top with Christ. Matthew 1:1-16 presents the family tree from Abraham to Jesus, and Luke 3:23-38 chronicles from Jesus back to Adam.
