Jesse Tree - December 15, 2020 - Day 17

Tuesday, December 15

But remember the admonition which you addressed to Moses, your servant, when you said: If you prove

faithless, I will scatter you among the peoples; but if you return to me and carefully keep my

commandments, even though your outcasts have been driven to the farthest corner of the world, I will

gather them from there, and bring them back to the place I have chosen as the dwelling place for my name.

Nehemiah 1:8-9

The prophet Nehemiah urges the chosen people to change their ways and return

to the true faith. On the ornament for today, we see a wall reminding us of the

wall that was rebuilt around Jerusalem in order to keep the Sabbath Day a holy

day of rest. Read more about it in Nehemiah 1:1-2:8; 6:15-16; 13:10-22.
