Just as we trace our family history to understand our roots, Matthew 1:6-17 traces the lineage of Jesus. This genealogy reminds us of God's sovereign plan through generations, leading to the birth of Jesus Christ, our Savior. It traces God’s promise that he would send a King into the world, a King of Kings who would reign forever and restore humanity.

“And Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. (Matthew 1:16)”
