Matthew 1:1-17
The genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David.
The genealogy of Jesus Christ delineates for us what line Jesus comes from. It goes all the way back to Abraham and forwards it to Joseph, whose father was Jacob. It covers fourteen generations from the Babylonian exile to the birth of Jesus.Â
Creator God, we come before you to give you praise and glory for your Son, Jesus, and all of the people who went before him. Thank you for our own genealogy in our own families. Lord, help us to see that the path is not always easy, but you are with us on the road.
