Day 1- Where He Came From
We know that Jesus came from above, but Matthew reveals an even more practical insight through penning Jesus’ lineage to start out his gospel in the book of Matthew verses 1-16.
This lineage demonstrates a continuation and an intentional connection of the Old Testament to Jesus. It also reveals the royal biblical lineage through the connection of David and Abraham. Lastly, it reveals all of humanity and its faults and flaws—through the various people mentioned in this colorful lineage and genealogy of Jesus. Thus revealing God’s heart for humanity and Him becoming one of us, to save us from our sin and ourselves.
3 Take Aways:
- Jesus was from above, but no one was beneath Him.
- Jesus lineage was divinely biblical, yet noticeably human.
- Jesus spanned the gaps of time and humanity to reach us all!
