I love how the Old and New Testaments tie together! Studying them side by side adds so much depth to our understanding of God. He is the God of both Old and New. He is the God of our day and the days to come. He is eternal. He is not limited by time or space. Hallelujah! Our God is amazing!
It is always tempting to skip over genealogies in the Bible, mostly because we don't know how to pronounce half the names. But let's take some time to refresh our memories about some of the people we have studied over the past several months. At the top of
my blog page, there is a search box. You can type in a name from the genealogy listed in Matthew 1, and if we have studied that person, a list of past blog posts will show on your screen. We did not study the people following the exile; so their names will not yield any search results. However, we did study almost all of the people listed in Matthew 1:1-11. Take some time to review your favorites.
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"d]">[d]—which means, "God with us." (Matthew 1:22-23) Jesus Christ was born to fulfill every prophecy we read in the Old Testament! He is Messiah, and He will return again! Hallelujah!
