Advent

          Shoot from stump of Jesse

​

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;

from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.

​The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him--

the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,

the Spirit of counsel and of power,

the Spirit of knowledge and of

the fear of the LORD -

​and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.

He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,

or decide by what he hears with his ears;

but with righteousness he will judge the needy,

with justice he will give decisions for

the poor of the earth.

He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth;

with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.

​Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness

the sash around his waist. Isaiah 11:1-5

​

​

​

Jesse is father of King David.

​This is the sovereign of the redeemer

Jesus Christ as God promised with

Abraham and King David long ago.
