The Promise of Christmas

Scripture – Isaiah 11: 1-2, 10

1
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
2The 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
10
In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him,
and his place of rest will be glorious.
