Roots: Jesus Comes to Us From a Place
A new branch will grow from a stump of a tree; so a new king will come from the family of Jesse. The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon that king. The Spirit will give him wisdom and understanding, guidance and power. The Spirit will teach him to know and respect the Lord. This king will be glad to obey the Lord.

Matthew 2:4-6 NIV
Why __THEN __?
