Justice shall flourish in his time,
and fullness of peace forever.
May his name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun his name shall remain.
In him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed;
all the nations shall proclaim his happiness.
May his name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun his name shall remain.
In him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed;
all the nations shall proclaim his happiness.
Justice shall flourish in his time,
and fullness of peace forever.
Matthew 1: 1
– 17 The book of the genealogy of Jesus
Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
… Thus the total number of generations from Abraham to David is fourteen
generations; from David to the Babylonian exile, fourteen generations; from the
Babylonian exile to the Christ, fourteen generations.
It
was over 800 years between Abraham and Jesus, but the Gospel highlights just
two; does that mean everyone else is unimportant? Do I think Jesus regards
anyone as unimportant?
Action: Introduce yourself to and learn the names of three “unimportant” people.
