Jesus is the Righteous Branch (Isaiah 11:1-10) Printable Bible Lesson & Sunday School Activities

This kids' Bible lesson looks at ancient prophecy, and how we can take hope from the words of God’s appointed messengers from long ago.  When we see how God’s promises have been fulfilled, it should bring us joy and excitement, knowing that He continues to be faithful to us. Reading the words of Isaiah, we see a foreshadowing of Jesus in the “stump of Jesse” note that shows Christ will come from the lineage of David.

Sometimes the messages of prophets seem archaic or irrelevant, but they point to the Gospel in a remarkable and wonderful way. Isaiah contains so many prophecies that turn us to the Messiah. Even though the man lived hundreds of years before Christ, he gave words from the Lord that were fulfilled in Jesus. Isaiah reminds us that God is always faithful to His covenants. We might have to wait, and sometimes God might seem silent, but He is always working and will provide what He promises.
