Isaiah 11:1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
It is hard to try and describe something which has never been seen before; and harder still to describe a person whom you have not seen.
Isaiah was describing many different things in his prophecies and here we have a depiction of Christ as a slender rod or branch from which something bigger is going to grow.
When we plant a cutting to grow into a big plant, we start with something very small which grows as it is fed and nourished.
Don’t be put off thinking you are too small; God wants to nourish and feed you to become something great for Him!
