Jesse People in Jesus' Family Tree You and your child will explore men and women from both the Old and New Testaments — all people who helped bring God’s plan for a Savior to fruition. Each daily reflection is a moment in time with a different member of Jesus’ family. It provides a snapshot — a window into the person’s character and the way God worked in his or her life. Adam and Eve Noah Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Joseph Moses Rahab, Ruth, and more Jesse, David, and Solomon Elizabeth, John the Baptist, Joseph, and Mary Why Do We Call It a Jesse Tree? The special tree we decorate each Advent is named after Jesse, a holy man of God and the father of King David. The prophet Isaiah, many generations before the birth of Jesus, told the Israelites that “a shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, / and from his roots a bud shall blossom” (Is 11:1). This passage foretold the birth of Jesus. The Jesse Tree for Families focuses on what always captivates children in stories: people and relationships. Advent is the perfect time to learn about Jesus’ family tree because during Advent we are preparing for Jesus’ birth at Christmas. Included with this book (both on the jacket and in a separate section at the back), you’ll find a set of ornaments that can be cut out and used each day to mark your journey toward Christmas. All the reflections contained in this book are appropriate to read even with your youngest family members.
