Apparent Discrepancies Are Made Clear: The Genealogies of Christ Fill Us with Hope and Encouragement

The Genealogies of Christ Reveal That He Is Everything to Us!

Footnote 17⁴

The genealogy of Christ in Luke begins with Jesus and traces back to God. Matthew’s record proceeds from Abraham to Christ. Luke goes back and up to God; Matthew comes forward and down to Christ. All the generations were directed to Christ and brought in Christ. Christ is the goal, the consummation, the conclusion, the completion, and the perfection of all the generations; as such, He fulfills their prophecies, solves their problems, and meets their needs. When Christ comes, life, light, salvation, satisfaction, healing, freedom, rest, comfort, peace, and joy all come with Him. From this point on, the whole New Testament is a full expounding of this wonderful Christ, who is everything to us. Hallelujah, Christ has come! (13)
