Jesse Tree Story:  JACOB
Jesse Tree Symbol:  A LADDER


Scripture:   "Then he had a dream: a stairway rested on the ground,
with its top reaching to the heavens; and God's messengers were
going up and down on it. And there was the LORD standing beside
him and saying: "I, the LORD, am the God of your forefather
Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you are lying
I will give to you and your descendants. These shall be as plentiful
as the dust of the earth, and through them you shall spread out east
and west, north and south. In you and your descendants all the
nations of the earth shall find blessing."
Genesis 28:12-14


Commentary:   God renewed his promise to Isaac's son,
Jacob, through a dream in which he saw   angels ascending
and descending a ladder which reached from heaven to earth.
