Genealogy of Christ

Text: Matthew 1:1-17

Christ is the fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham – Genesis 12:1-3

Christ was heir to the throne of David – Psalm 132:11; Acts 2:30

Christ’s throne is not on this earth – Matthew 1:12; Jeremiah 22:30

God’s plan will not be thwarted by wicked men – Jeconiah (2 Kings 24:8-9), Manassah (2 Kings 21:1-17)

The Gentiles have a place in God’s plan – Rahab (Joshua 2:1), Ruth (Ruth 1:4)

There can never be another Messiah – When Jerusalem was destroyed, so were the birth records of the Jewish people. No way to trace anyone back to David.
