What’s a Jesse Tree?

I think I finally figured it out! In past years I’ve been clueless as to what a Jesse Tree was and after reading several posts (links at the end of this post) I think I understand.

In my limited understanding, I’m being to see that a Jesse Tree is a great way to celebrate the upcoming Christmas Season by focusing on Christ and seeing Him all through out the Bible. Scriptures pointing to Christ are shared and ornaments hung on a Jesse Tree to help us reflect and see God’s plan for His son from the very beginning.

Am I getting warm?

Well, now that I finally figured out what a Jesse Tree is, I want to do it. But seeing that Advent has already started and I have no idea where to start, I’m asking all of you for help!

I found this on the net and was wondering if anyone else used it. It seems like the quickest way to start up the Jesse Tree, but I want to know I’m getting my money’s worth. Does anyone know of any other web resources I may be able to use to get this tree growing?

I’ve also been thinking this would be a great year round project! Since we focus our lives on Christ throughout the year, we could take this next year to grow our Jesse Tree and reflect on the scriptures. This would be an awesome way to supplement our study of the Bible that we’re already doing.
