The Jesse Tree for Families: Day 25
THE SON OF GOD
Luke 2:1-20, John 1:1-18
We can see God’s plan throughout all of the Bible, God’s Word. We can see His plan to rescue His people from sin, His plan to bring a Savior to His people from the promise of Abraham, and His plan to bring a Savior who is also a King from the family of David. Behold, Jesus, our Emmanuel, God with us, has come. The one through whom the world was made was born for our salvation.
This is what every person, poem, and prophecy pointed to all along:
