Matthew 1:1-17
The names and titles attributed to Jesus in the first chapter of Matthew go a long way in defining his mission and ministry to a lost and hurting world. We begin this morning by considering the significance of his genealogy.
- The Son of Abraham
- The Son of David
- The Son of Zerubbabel
- The Son of Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary
By coming into the world, Jesus related himself to all of humankind— men & women, rich & poor, Jew & Gentile, immoral & pure. By God’s design, there is no barrier to keep any person from receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord!
