Advent 2021 - Jesse Tree Week Two
I was struck by Chris Tomlin’s words:
What fear we felt in the silent age
Four-hundred years can He be found
But broken by a baby's cry
Rejoice in the hallowed manger ground
Bonhoeffer in his advent reading this week mentioned how Isaiah himself spoke as if he could see the Christ child even though it was seven hundred years until his prophecy would be seen in Jesus. As you read with your families I pray that your heart would be filled with wonder and grateful thoughts of the faithfulness of the saints who went before us.
Jesse Tree Ornaments:
I took Sculpey clay and a cocktail skewer to sketch the symbols for each day on the ornaments, put a hole in the top for a ribbon, and baked them to make our ornaments.
