Matthew 1:1-25
👉 The genealogy of Jesus contains a liar, harlot, and murderer. And those are just the sins that made the pages. They were human – like us – and so they would have struggled with envy, worry, and addictions. Ordinary people who were a part of an amazing story.
The coming of Christ was a promise thousands of years in the making. The sins and the struggles of the people could not stop it. The enemy could not stop it.
👉 Mary
- betrothed to Joseph
- Virgin
- with child from the Holy Spirit
👉 Joseph
- a just man
- unwilling to shame Mary
- decided to divorce her quietly
- believed and obeyed the angel of the Lord
👉 Jesus
- conceived from the Holy Spirit
- will save his people from their sins
- Immanuel – God with us
👉 I hope you’ll join me as I journal my way through Matthew’s gospel!
You are loved.
