A Christmas Gift
The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah … Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah (Matthew 1, 16).
There is no one like you. You are unique. No one has a fingerprint like yours, a DNA that exactly matches yours. Roots are important, and not just to plants. Your DNA shows what tendencies you may have regarding disease, intellect, temperament and so much more.
There are forty-seven names listed in Matthew 1, most unpronounceable. Some are great, some not so great. From paupers to princes, shepherds to slaves, kings to harlots, spanning twenty-one centuries of human experience, the list ends in a stable on a starlit night with one name that is above every other name, Jesus!
The family tree of our Lord does not end with His ancestors, because His descendants – you and I – have been born again into His forever family.
CODE WORD: ROOTS
Do you know the full name of your great grandfather? Or anything thing about his life? Chances are your own children's grandchildren will not even know your name. What really matters is this: are your true roots in Jesus' family tree?
Lord, may I be more concerned this season about being on your list than any other Christmas invitation list.
