BREAKING NEWS: Dead Man Expecting a Child!

No, this is not the Onion or the Babylon Bee.

This is Isaiah 11.1

"There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,

and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit."

Old Jesse (the father of King David) had been dead for a long time,

when Isaiah implicated him in a birth announcement?

Here are some things that are the same:

Jesse's stump

Elizabeth's barrenness

Mary's virginity

The blind man's eyes

The boy's bread and fish

The disciple's faith (ὀλιγόπιστος)

Jesus' death

Church's fear

My bound will

Your's too

"his roots shall bear fruit"

We are expecting!
