Geneology....of Christ

God Bless you & Good Morning,

I had a revelation last night to start fresh anew with the New Testament.

The book of Matthew, chapter 1. In verses 1-16 is the earthly geneology of Christ. Continuing with 17-25:(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.
(18)Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.(19)Then Joseph her husband being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
(20)But while he though on these things behold the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying: Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.(21)And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.(22)Now all this was done, that if might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet saying.(23)Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.(24)Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:(25)And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Many years ago, when I was in school, we were asked to complete a "Family Tree". For me I had 2 families: my adopted family & my birth family. Of course at that time I didn't know very much about my birth family, so I completed it on my adopted family. I was always curious about my birth parents, but was always told I was special because I was "chosen" to be adopted.

Mary was chosen to give birth to Jesus, who was sent to save us from our sins. We are adopted into the family of Christ, through our repentance of sins, and our faith and belief in Jesus Christ. We are all special, chosen, brothers & sisters of Christ!

Allelujah! What a geneology we have!

Praise the Lord!

Your sister in Christ
