The lineage of grace

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD

FRIDAY 13TH DECEMBER, 2024

TEXT: Matthew 1:17

[17]So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

TOPIC: THE LINEAGE OF GRACE

         The family tree is a lineage showing the fathers, mothers, and children. It is the source of everyone born on earth. Everyone born on earth belongs to a lineage. The lineage of Christ was a unique one because God chose Judah out of all the family tribes of Israel. Judah was a hard man, his profile was not too good, he moved the motion to sell his half brother out to the Ishmeelites , he was an adulterer who mistakenly slept with his son in law , in that lineage there are murderers, harlots, foreigners but grace picked Judah regardless of all.

             The writer of the Matthew Gospel was particular about his lineage so that his audience can know that he was a Jew and from the tribe of Judah as it was foretold by the prophets that the Messiah will come from there. Grace of God is available to all, irrespective of your background, status or moral deficiencies, Jesus is ready to make something out of you if you will accept him as your LORD, He will adopt you into his lineage and make you a son or daughter with all the rights and privileges appertaining to it.

Action word: The grace of God is what make a lineage stand out.

Prayer: Father engraft me into your lineage of grace in Jesus name.
