Sermon: 12/24/2023: “Apocalypse: Credible”

Listen here: “Apocalypse: Credible

Matthew 1:17

  • The reason genealogies are kept is to establish the lineage of inheritance rights. Legally, to receive an inheritance one needs to establish a credible family or legal relationship with the deceased.
    • Genealogies are about inheritance. And in the Bible the Kingdom of God comes as an inheritance.
    • 3 groups of 14. What is the significance of 14 generations?
    • If we are to think like the first-century people, we must recognize that the importance of the number fourteen is that it is a multiple of seven.
      • Matthew is implying that the entire flow of God’s history of creating a people for himself shows that Jesus the Christ is our Sabbath rest. How so?
