We all live under various authorities, but Jesus Christ holds ultimate authority as the promised King. Matthew's genealogy reveals Jesus as both the son of David, Israel's rightful King, and the son of Abraham, bringing blessing to all nations. The genealogy traces three movements: Israel's rise under David, their fall into exile, and restoration through Christ. Jesus didn't come as an earthly warrior king but to establish a spiritual kingdom in our hearts. As Christians, we are citizens of heaven living under King Jesus' authority in every area of life. The King has arrived, the promises are fulfilled, and we must surrender completely to His reign.
