Jesse Tree Story: JEREMIAH
Jesse Tree Symbol: THE CROSS
Scripture: "For this city has been a cause of fury and
indignation to me, from the day when they built it,
until this day, in which it will be taken away from my sight,
because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the
sons of Judah, which they have done, provoking me to wrath,
they and their kings, their leaders and their priests and their
prophets, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces.
And though I taught them and instructed them, rising at first
light, they were not willing to listen, so that they would
receive discipline. And they have placed their idols in the
house where my name is invoked, so that they defiled it."
Jeremiah 31:31-34
Commentary: Jeremiah's life resembled the life of Jesus in his mission and suffering.
