Remember in elementary school when everyone had to bring information about their ancestry? While everyone else in the class seemed to be related to either European royalty; one of the Mayflower pilgrims; one of the founders of our nation, like George Washington; or a celebrity; I discovered a runaway horse thief in my family tree! Humanity is a mix of princes and paupers, saints and scoundrels. You would think that Jesus had the best family tree of all. Why do you think the Savior of the World had some conspicuous sinners in his family tree?
