Scripture carefully traces the lineage of Jesus. Matthew tracks the generations from Abraham to Jesus, highlighting Jesus' connection to the line of David. Luke follows Jesus' ancestry all the way back to Adam. The geneal;ogy from Abraham to Jesus confirm's God's promise to Abraham, "In you all the families of the earth shall be blessed" (Genesis 12:3). The genealogy traced to Adam reveals the fulfillment of God's promise of a Savior in Genesis 3:15, when he said to the tempting serpent, "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel".

By faith we have been grafted into the family of God by the blood Christ shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. God's promises of old apply to us as well. "If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Galatians 3:29). Each Sunday is a family reunion with brothers and sisters in Christ. Enjoy being part of this holy heritage!
