Certain sections of scripture cause our modern eyes to glaze over, but ancient eyes cherished the genealogies of Jesus Christ. Looking back over the ancestors of Jesus, we find some names we recognize and many others we don't. These generations teach us about how God fulfills his promises, how Jesus comes to bring good news to all people, and how in Christ our deepest hopes make contact with the real world.
Application Questions:
1. How can this list of names help you trust God's promises more in your own life?
2. What are ways God's grace in Jesus can meet you when you feel insignificant or undesirable?
3. Jesus is divine perfection breaking into our human world. How can that give you hope in the midst of your daily life?
