There are many different ways to celebrate Advent, and the Jesse Tree is one that families have used in many parts of the world. Scanning the Bible from Genesis up to the birth of Jesus, each story and symbol in the Jesse Tree series helps us remember that the entire story of the Bible—creation, fall, and redemption—moves forward in anticipation of the birth of our Savior. Then, after Christmas, when we’ve finished the journey of the Jesse Tree in Bethlehem, we reflect on the movement of restoration ushered in by Jesus’death and resurrection. We finally look forward to Jesus’ future glory, when he returns on the clouds of heaven.  \nKurt Selles is the Director of Back to God Ministries International, the parent organization of ReFrame Media, which publishes the Today devotions. Kurt is a graduate of Calvin Theological Seminary and Vanderbilt University. Kurt previously served as director of the Global Center at Beeson Divinity School, where he also taught missions. He also served as a missionary in Taiwan and China. Kurt and his wife, Vicki, have three adult children.  \n© 2019  \nPublished by ReFrame Media  \n1700 28th Street SE | Grand Rapids, MI 49508-1407  \nEdited by Robin Basselin and Eleanor Lamsma Design and Layout by Five Q  \nAll rights reserved.
