A Book of Genesis of Jesus the Messiah

Preacher:
Passage: Matthew 1.1-17

As we approach Christmas, this year we are looking at the start of Matthew’s biography about Jesus. In his first words of his gospel, Matthew writes, ‘A Book of Genesis’. So, what is Matthew’s book of Genesis about? Well, as we’ll see, it is about Jesus the Messiah.

This week, as Matthew describes the Genesis, or origins, of Jesus the Messiah, Matthew tells us that Mary is the mother Jesus. Then, next week, Matthew will tell us about Jesus’ father.
