As we begin this advent season anticipating celebrating the birth of Jesus we do so with a spirit of gratitude. We begin this series taking a look at the value of Jesus's genealogy in Matthew 1. It should cause us to reflect on our own heritage or family. We have something in common with Jesus here. We all, like Jesus, have a family line that has both great and deeply flawed people that make it up. The good news is God preserves (the greatness) and redeems (the sinful). | Matt 1
