Read:Matthew1:1-16 Matthew wanted us to know that Jesus s family tree was made up of just such people too. One way he did this was to include four notable women in his gospel s genealogy of Jesus These types of records rarely noted women typically only forefatherswouldbelisted. But the four women in this genealogy—Tamar,Rahab, R u t h a n d Bathsheba—were remark-

ablepeopleforMatthewto include.Tamar,Rahab,and Ruth were foreign women who should have been excluded from God’s blessings,butbygracethey each were brought into the nation of Israel. Bathsheba was an adulteress who became the mother of Solomon Their special inclusion into Christ’s genealogyshowstheextent to which our Savior identified with humanity Like us, he came from a human family of great and l o w l y p e o p l e , o f saints and especially of sinners. By grace, Bathsheba was included in the Messiah’s direct ancestry, but all believers are part of his human family his brothers and sisters by faith.Hebrews2:11tellsus that “he is not ashamed to callthembrothers.”Whata big brother we have in Jesus! As you pray, thank God forthegracethathasmade you part of his family by faith.
