SCRIPTURE: MATTHEW 1:1-17

This is not a popular passage BUT there is GREAT significance and importance to this passage. It is the BEGINNING of Matthew which accounts the great and mighty works of God. These 17 verses establish the foundation of FAITH in Jesus. 

 

LESSON POINT: (Observation) Who AM I?

It is important to confirm one's identity before one can progress successfully in life. Knowing WHO YOU ARE leads you to your destiny.

 

TRUTH: (Application) ~ God was already at work from the beginning of time on you and me. And God is STILL at work in our lives (John 5:17)

 

ACTIVITY: List out YOUR family tree. How far can you go? I can only go up to my maternal grandma. :(

Praise God I am a child of God; I can list out my FULL Heavenly Family Tree; and Matthew 1:1-17 kicks start my endeavor. {You can confirm these names in 2 Kings and Chronicles. You dont need a concordance...}

 

All children of God should know WHERE they come from and of WHOM they belong to. (Ps 139:13-16) List down your own earthly family tree. Next, direct your efforts in combining the EARTHLY with the HEAVENLY. (continue from Jesus -> earthly family)

 

BIBLE VERSE: Attempt to memorize the genealogy. Start off with one generation and build up.

 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, thank YOU for including me into Your great heavenly family. I am proud to be included and to be counted as precious by You. Amen.
