The King's Bloodline: Matthew 1:1-17
A record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Matthew begins not with a manger but with a list. Names cascading through centuries like water through rock, carving the channel through which salvation would flow.
Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers...
The names march forward—patriarchs and kings, sinners and saints. But look closer. Notice who Matthew includes.
