The Family Tree

Family trees can be interesting! When The Sisters (Deb, Sherri, Joy, me) of our family tree get together it's way-more than just interesting - we rattle the tree! Now, Jesus' family tree is interesting indeed! Consider the lives of Abraham and Isaac, Jacob and Judah, Boaz and David; a stolen birthright, adultery and murder, slavery, captivity - sounds shameful, doesn't it? Christ's genealogy is full of real people just like you and I -- disobedience, poor choices, painful consequences. Truth is, there was enough sin just in The Garden; like Jesus' ancestors needed a Savior, so did we - that's why He came. The amazing news of great joy is because of Jesus, Believers now can boast of belonging to His Family Tree. What a wonder - What joy - What a reason to to celebrate His birth!
