Root



Romans 15:13 has been a favorite verse of mine for years now, combining hope, joy and peace all in the person of Christ, but I had never noticed the context before, that this is really a "Christmas verse". Read it for yourself.



12 And again, Isaiah says,“The Root of Jesse will spring up,    one who will arise to rule over the nations;    in him the Gentiles will hope.”[f]13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
