The Living Bread

The Genealogy of Jesus

The New Testament opens and re-opens with a family tree. Matthew begins his Gospel with the line of Jesus from Abraham through David, and Luke traces it backward from Jesus all the way to Adam and to God. These are not dry lists. They are the record of a promise kept: that the Messiah would come from the family of Abraham and David, and would be the Savior of the whole human race. Here are deep, honest studies of the family line of Jesus and what it means.
