THE JESSE TREE
SERIES
-
What does Thursday of the 4th Week of Advent entail for our Jesse tree?
TRUST
SCRIPTURE: Matthew 1:18-25.
THE PERSON: JOSEPH
Joseph was the foster father of Jesus
and the husband of Mary. He was a man of faith himself, believed what the angel
had told him in the dream and took immediate action. He did not delay or
procrastinate to take Mary home as his wife.He had trust in God, trust in the
angel's message in his dream and trust in Mary.
THE EVENT/THEME: TRUST: During our reflection time today, let us ponder on the theme of trust.
We may wish to
1.
Offer a prayer to strengthen our ability to trust especially in difficult
circumstances or in situations we do not understand.
2.
Rediscover the gift of trust and in what ways this gift could operate more
effectively in our lives.
3.
Make a practical commitment: As today's theme is trust, we may wish to:
o
Hand over a situation in trust to God
to do what He sees fit in our best interest.
o
Prepare spiritually for the birth of
Christ in our lives- what difference will this Christmas make to our spiritual
growth?
SYMBOL 26:THE TOOLS
OF THE CARPENTER
Let us remember Joseph. He was told in
a cream about the pregnancy of Mary. Being an man of honour he Married Mary and
prepared for the birth of Jesus. Let us welcome Jesus into our lives we prepare
our twenty sixth symbol (twenty fifth cut out symbol) and place it on the
tree.
