From the Gospel according to Matthew
“An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham…”
Abraham was the father of Isaac,
and Isaac the father of Jacob,
and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers…
…
So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations…
…
Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way…
This devotion is part of a shared journey through the Gospel of Matthew.
Each week, we reflect together - not just to understand Scripture, but to live it out in everyday life.
If you're looking for a church community where faith is explored thoughtfully and openly, you're invited to join us.
Is it important to you that Jesus was a descendant of Abraham and David?
How can you acknowledge the long tradition of Jesus’ ancestors?
What does it mean for your faith that Matthew presents Jesus as the fulfillment of Scripture?
Take time to reflect and pray today.
