Dominic Jackson explores how the biblical genre we often skip over—lists of names—tells a profound story of God’s faithfulness across generations. Focusing on the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke, Dominic shows how these seemingly dry records reveal a Messiah who is both the rightful heir to David’s throne and a son born into a messy, complicated, and very human family tree. Through Joseph, Jesus inherits royal status; through Mary, he inherits the bloodline of David without the curse attached to Solomon’s descendants. God orchestrates every detail, even across centuries of dysfunction, scandal, and brokenness, to fulfill promises. And in doing so, he not only brings beauty from brokenness but also adopts us into that same redemptive family story. The genealogy of Jesus is no longer just his—it’s ours too.
