From the stump of Jesse, a new sprig of life for the Hebrews grows, says Isaiah. From the remains of a well-rooted tree, a sacred seed can and will come. It’s a resurrection story. In fact it’s the resurrection story. Jesus recognizes his fate transcends death as we know it because his roots run deep, all the way to the original source from which all life comes.
