(Forerunners) Jesse

Grandson of Ruth and father of David, Jesse stands between major figures of the Old Testament. It is Jesse, the humble shepherd, who is named by Isaiah as the lineage from which the Messiah would come.

As the kingdom of Israel rose and fell, this prophecy kept hope alive, that even if the line of David seemed lifeless as a stump, God would one day bring new life through Christ.
