We all have plenty of saints and sinners scattered throughout our genealogy. We sometimes fantasize what life would be like had we come from a more noble background. But fantasy denies reality. The reality is that God has a dream for each of our lives, and it begins in Christ, where we find a new identity and new heavenly family in which we are born anew in the Spirit. God then takes our past failures and brokenness and molds them into a new story of hope and redemption through our lives.
Take heart, for even Jesus had some shady people in his genealogy!
Matthew 1:1-17
