Session 5 - Genealogy of Jesus

Listen Later

Overview of Matthew: Jesus’ Genealogy; Why the difference between Matthew’s and Luke’s account, and why should we care?

Key Points:

  • The Gospel of Matthew  written between 50-90AD by a convert to Christianity from Judaism.
  • Matthew’s emphasis- to show that Jesus is the promised Jewish Messiah, the ultimate King of the Jews, and to the world.  Jewish prophesy fulfillment.  Jesus is a 2nd, better Moses, and a 2nd, better David.
  • Though from a royal dynasty, Jesus had many deeply sinful people in his ancestry-just like us!
  • Differences in Matthew’s, Luke’s genealogy of Jesus:  Matthew’s gospel records only back as far as Abraham, the founder of the Jews.  Luke, a GENTILE, goes back further,  to Adam, who predated Judaism, to emphasize Jesus came for ALL people.
  • The difference between the 2 genealogies from David to Jesus may be because Mary’s genealogy was used for that time frame.
