Jesse Tree Skit

Skit available here

Discussion Questions

  • We call Mary the “Ark of the Covenant.” Why? Hint: find some clues in what Moses says.

  • How many apostles did Jesus choose, and why? Hint: re-read what Jacob says.

  • How does Mary “undo the knot” of Eve’s sin?

  • Look at the beautiful painting in the “Jesse Tree Live” script. Jesus is holding the hands of a man and a woman, pulling them out of coffins. Who are these people?

Answers:

  • Jesus is God, the real Living Bread, and Mary carries Jesus into the world.

  • Twelve disciples, who correspond to the 12 tribes of Israel.

  • Eve rejected God and gave us death, but Mary’s yes to God brought us new life in Christ.

  • Adam and Eve.
