The Genealogy of Jesus Christ Matthew 1:1-17 | Rev. Rob Childs Sunday 21st December 2025

Title: The Genealogy of Jesus Christ Speaker: Rob Childs Date: 21 December 2025 Bible: Matthew 1:1-17 Matthew’s genealogy in the opening verses of his Gospel serves as a theological prologue, framing Jesus Christ as the fulfilment of God’s redemptive promises from Abraham to David and through the exile, revealing Him as the true Son of Abraham and the promised Son of David. By structuring the lineage into three sets of fourteen, Matthew emphasises divine design over historical precision, highlighting key redemptive moments—Abraham’s covenant, David’s kingship, and the Babylonian exile—as pivotal points in God’s unfolding plan. The genealogy underscores that human history, marked by failure and sin, cannot achieve salvation, yet God remains faithful, preserving His promises through judgment and exile to bring forth the Messiah. Jesus, as the Son of Abraham, fulfils the universal blessing of all nations; as the Son of David, He establishes an eternal, righteous kingdom that no human ruler could achieve. Ultimately, the passage affirms that God’s promises are unbreakable, sealed by Christ’s atoning sacrifice, and are certain to be fulfilled in His eternal kingdom, calling all to repent and trust in Him alone for salvation. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/1...
