--"Joseph was the husband of Mary, and Mary was the mother of Jesus. Jesus is called the Christ." ~~(Matthew 1:16)--
~~Seems like the only common bond between [Jesus' not-so-great grandparents] was a promise. A promise from heaven that God would use them to send His Son.
Why did God use these people? Didn't have to. Could have just laid the Savior on a doorstep. Would have been simpler that way. And why does God tell us their stories?...
Simple...He wants us to know that when the world goes wild, He stays calm.
Want proof? Read the last name on the list [of Jesus' lineage]. In spite of all the crooked halos and tasteless gambols of his people, the last name on the list is the first one promised--JESUS.
No more names are listed. No more are needed. As if God is announcing to a doubting world, "See, I did it. Just like I said I would." --'When God Whispers Your Name"/ML~~ -["For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace" [ISAIAH 9:6/ NASB] --"His Name Shall Be" //By: Matt Redman ~~<https://youtu.be/VWzLWNxh8fE> ~~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
