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.
