We reached the halfway point with our Jesse Tree today, as there are 28 days in Advent this year, (the most there can be). Fittingly, the reading was about David (2 Samuel 5:1-5), and his anointing as king over all of Israel, which came about seven years after he was made king of Judah. From an earthly standpoint, he was the greatest king Israel ever had, and an ancestor of the greatest King ever–Jesus!
