Matthew 1:1–17 - [1] The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. [2] Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, [3] and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, [4] and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, [5] and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, [6] and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, [7] and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, [8] and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, [9] and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, [10] and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, [11] and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. [12] And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, [13] and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, [14] and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, [15] and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, [16] and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. [17] So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

| 0:00.0 | Hello there, my friends. It is time for the morning mindset. Are you ready? We're going to be getting our minds aligned with the truth of God's word for this day. And starting January 1st, you'll have another opportunity to get your mind aligned with the truth of God's word. But rather than being in the morning, it's going to be in the evening. I'm going to be producing the evening mindset to help |
| 0:27.0 | you wind down from a busy, perhaps stressful day and get yourself realigned with God before bedtime. |
| 0:34.1 | To let the stress of the day go, the anxieties you've carried dissipate as you bathe |
| 0:39.3 | your mind and your spirit in God's word. If you want to find out how you can subscribe to the |
| 0:44.8 | evening mindset before it even takes place, go to evening mindset.com and sign up so you don't miss |
| 0:52.0 | an episode beginning January 1st. |
| 0:55.2 | All right, we're going to be looking today in our Christmas series at Jesus Family Tree. |
| 1:00.8 | In Matthew chapter 1 verses 1 through 17, so get out your Bibles. |
| 1:05.6 | We're going to dig into that in just a moment. |
| 1:07.6 | But before we do, we need to pray because we need our Father in heaven |
| 1:11.6 | to be our teacher. Lord God, we do ask you to be our teacher. We want you to show us in this |
| 1:19.1 | genealogy the things that we need to notice in order to best appreciate this issue of Jesus |
| 1:26.8 | having a family tree. It's really kind of remarkable to think about. |
| 1:30.1 | So show us what we need to see, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen. All right, friends, we're going to be |
| 1:36.1 | looking at Matthew chapter 1, verses 1 through 17. Now, what we find here is a genealogy. |
| 1:42.9 | You know, saying so-and-so was the father of so-and-so, and so-and-so was the father of so-and-so and so-and-so was the |
| 1:45.9 | father of so-and-so. And it's Jesus' genealogy. It's telling where he came from. So let's look at |
| 1:52.7 | verse number one. It says the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ. So Jesus is the subject of this |
| 2:00.0 | genealogy. And in referring to Jesus or |
| 2:03.7 | describing who he is, it says he is the son of David, the son of Abraham. Now we know in both |
| 2:11.5 | those cases, Jesus was not the actual son of David. Jesus was a descendant of David. And that's what that phrase |
