FREE Jesse Tree Scripture Printable

The Jesse Tree is our favorite advent activity every Christmas season. It is a sweet and meaningful way to walk through the story of Jesus from creation to the incarnation.

It’s a simple idea: each day you read an account from the Bible and then hang an ornament up that relates to that story. All the stories point to Christ and His first coming, when God Himself came to us as a baby in a manger

The Jesse Tree is a Christmas activity that families use to walk through the story of Jesus from creation to incarnation. Begin the Jesse Tree tradition in your home during Advent this year and use this beautiful custom-illustrated Jesse Tree Scripture art print and coloring page to start!

The Jesse Tree Christmas tradition is based on this passage in Isaiah:

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him—
the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of might,
the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD—
and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. – Isaiah 11:1-2

This Jesse Tree Scripture passage is one that our family is very familiar with after years of doing a Jesse Tree. It’s still one of my favorite passages. 🙂 You can find out more about the Jesse Tree here, as well as several ideas on how to use the Jesse Tree in your Advent celebrations.  

This year, I also invite you to print off the beautiful custom-illustrated Jesse Tree Scripture art print and coloring page below for a fun way to help your family memorize the verses together and kick off your Jesse Tree activities. They are available in ESV and KJV.  

Every day, have your children repeat each phrase after you. When you think they’re beginning to remember it, start having them repeat larger chunks. Eventually, switch to reciting it together each day instead of repeating after you. Coming up with hand motions for each phrase or idea helps the little ones, too!
