The genealogy of Jesus is a twisted tree, but God's sovereignty and goodness encompass it at every point. It's important for us to go up on the mountaintop and take in the view. That's what Matthew has done. Humans don't always get it right. There are so many times I've been disappointed or disappointed someone in my life, but with God it is never a dead end. His mercy goes from generation to generation. He redeems, He restores, He can even bring life from death.
