Spiritman Daily Dose 125 - Here is the penciled version of the cover for issue 1. I already posted the full color version in the album Spiritman 1 Daily Dose so you can go look that up if you haven't seen it yet. Today I want to share about our choice of imagery on the cover. It is motivated by 2 sets of scripture. Here is the first... "A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit." Isaiah 11:1 NIV Why a tree stump? Who is Jesse? Jesse was the father of David, King of Israel. God promised David that his throne would be established for ever. Yet in the days of Isaiah the nation of Israel was being destroyed by foreign powers. It was reduced to a stump, but from this stump would come the messiah... The new shoot is a symbol of Jesus.
