A Stump, A Shoot, and A Root: The Promise of a Different Kind of Christmas Tree
What if Christmas reminds us that God does His greatest work where we least expect it? In Isaiah 11, Pastor Jared Richard walks us through a surprising Christmas tree not filled with lights, but marked by a stump, a shoot, and a root. This passage shows us that God does not merely bring life, but brings life from death through Jesus Christ alone. As we humble ourselves before Him and place our hope in His coming kingdom, we discover that true life springs from what once looked finished.
