First Presbyterian Church Of Baton Rouge

The baby in Mary’s womb was the new David. He was the heir to the everlasting promise. Through Jesus, after all these centuries, the eternal kingdom would be ushered in. No accident then when Jesus claimed his roots in David the Shepherd King as he declared, “I am the Good Shepherd. I lay down my life for the sheep” (John 10). This is the one for whom they had been waiting a thousand years. He would be the King of Peace. "Life from a Stump" Isaiah 11: 1-9 Gerrit Dawson
