“And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:”
Isaiah 11:1 KJV
The prophecy from Isaiah concerning the royal family line of David. Jesse, the grandson of Boaz, was the father of King David. The cut-off stump of Jesse will sprout, and a fruitful Branch will grow from his roots. Jesse means “upright, firm, strong.” Christ is both the root and the offspring of David. This means that the “branch” that grows from the roots (His spirit/nature) points to the Body of Christ, His Church on earth. Christ in us is the Vine and we are His fruitful branches. Jesus Christ branches out through His people and grows from His root. Overcomers are the branches that bring forth the fruit of Christ’s Life. This sprout will grow to become the rod of God’s power. Let’s allow Christ in us to be the Vine, and we His fruitful branches. Amen!
