Advent ~ Day 3

Day three of reading about the coming of Jesus, His birth, and the reason for the season.  Today's passage came from Isaiah, chapter 11, versus 1 through 10:

Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse,
And a branch from his roots will bear fruit.
² The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him,
The spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The spirit of counsel and strength,
The spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
³ And He will delight in the fear of the Lord,
And He will not judge by what His eyes see,
Nor make a decision by what His ears hear;
⁴ But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
⁵ Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins,
And faithfulness the belt about His waist.

⁶ And the wolf will dwell with the lamb,
And the leopard will lie down with the young goat,
And the calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little boy will lead them.
⁷ Also the cow and the bear will graze,
Their young will lie down together,
And the lion will eat straw like the ox.
⁸ The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra,
And the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den.
⁹ They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.

¹⁰ Then in that day
The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a signal for the peoples;
And His resting place will be glorious.

In these versus we begin to see the lineage of Jesus, through Jesse!  We begin to see the hope in the one that is to come, the Messiah, and how He'll make things right.

Also noteworthy, at least to the two young gentlemen in our house, were the Legos behind door 3.

Building a driod!

The Christmas scene taking shape!

A dog, his bowl, and his bones.

Unnamed droid, at least as of this posting.

Merry Christmas readers!
