Matthew opens his Gospel with a long list of names—not to bore us, but to reveal the breathtaking story behind the Savior’s arrival. This week we walk through the genealogy of Jesus and discover how God works through the impossible and the irrational. Jesus comes as the Son of Abraham, fulfilling a covenant once given to a childless old man, and the Son of David, redeeming a royal line marked by scandal and brokenness. Every generation in His family tree shouts the same message: God keeps His promises, God redeems messy stories, and God brings salvation through Jesus Christ—whose very name means “God saves” and whose title declares Him the Anointed Messiah.
