Jesse Tree: Jesus’ Family Tree

Jesus had parents and grandparents and great-grandparents—just as we do!

His family began with Adam and Eve, and it continues through all generations to us today.

By pointing out key people in the Bible, this sweet picture book tells the story of Jesus’ ancestors and of God’s plan for our salvation. Learning about our Savior’s family tree helps us see how God kept His promise to redeem us all and make us His children—a promise kept and sustained over thousands of years.
