The Genealogy of Jesus | Matthew 1:1-17 | Eric Yee

Guest speaker and MBC World Partner Eric Yee opens Matthew’s Gospel by showing how the genealogy of Jesus is not a passage to skip, but a powerful “season one recap” of God’s redemptive story. From Abraham to David, from exile to Christ, Matthew shows that God always keeps his word, sovereignly came through sinners for sinners, and began a new creation in Jesus. This message connects the family line of Christ to the mission of God among the nations, reminding us that Jesus is the long-awaited Son of Abraham, Son of David, and Savior of sinners from every tribe, tongue, and people. Because Christ has come, may we trust God’s promises, rejoice in his mercy, and live as a new-creation people sent for the sake of the gospel.
