The genealogies of Christ in Matthew and Luke reveal God’s sovereign plan to fulfill His covenantal promises through Jesus, the legal and biological heir to David’s throne. These lineages highlight the miraculous virgin birth, avoiding the curse of Jeconiah, and affirm Jesus as both the Savior of humanity and the rightful King of Israel.
The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you.
Numbers 6:24-25 (NIV)
