Matthew 1 ~ Genealogy

The genealogy portion of Matthew 1 is - I'll be blunt - boring. Despite this, I do find it interesting on some levels as well . . . There's times when I forget about the OT and all the history that happened before Christ was born. God was blessing, loving, and working in His creation from the beginning. This genealogy at the beginning of Matthew is a reminder to me of God's faithfulness through generations. It also reminds me of His plan for His creation, and that the OT and NT are one and not separate. I'm reminded further of this in verse 23, when Isaiah is quoted.
