Matthew 1:1 The
book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Almost a thousand years before Jesus was born, God promised King David that he
would have a son who would rule and reign as king forever and forever. So Jesus
had to be a descendant of King David. Matthew takes Jesus’ ancestors through
his father, Joseph. The usual way that a throne passes is from father to son.
But we know that Joseph was not really Jesus’ father. So the book of Luke
traces Jesus’ ancestors from King David down to Mary, Jesus’ mother. Either
way, Jesus had the right to sit on the throne of King David. But Jesus was
actually the Son of God and the Son of King David. And someday, Jesus will rule
and reign as King of kings and Lord of lords. And if you are a follower of
Jesus, you will reign with Jesus! What a wonderful time that will be!
