A Son Of God

You know those lineages in the Bible? There long. Boring, and if you lose your place at any point, you pretty much have to start all over. But I am going to show you a lineage that is not boring. Let me show you a lineage that is not boring! Joseph:

The Ancestors of Jesus

Luke 3: 23B Jesus, so people thought, was the son of Joseph, Son of Eli, Son of Matthat, son of Levi, Son of Melchi, son of Jannai, son of Joseph, 25 son of Mattathias, son of Amos, son of Nahum, son of Esli, son of Naggai, 26 son of Maath, son of Mattathias, son of Semein, son of Josech, son of Joda, 27 son of Joanan, son of Rhesa, son of Zerubbabel, son of Shealtiel, son of Neri, 28 son of Melchi, son of Addi, son of Cosam, son of Elmadam, son of Er, 29 son of Joshua, son of Eliezer, son of Jorim, son of Matthat, son of Levi, 30 son of Simeon, son of Judah, son of Joseph, son of Jonam, son of Eliakim, 31 son of Melea, son of Menna, son of Mattatha, son of Nathan, son of David, 32 son of Jesse, son of Obed, son of Boaz, son of Salmon, son of Nahshon, 33 son of Amminadab, son of Admin, son of Arni, son of Hezron, son of Perez, son of Judah, 34 son of Jacob, son of Isaac, son of Abraham, son of Terah, son of Nahor, 35 son of Serug, son of Reu, son of Peleg, son of Eber, son of Shelah, 36 son of Cainan, son of Arphaxad, son of Shem, son of Noah, son of Lamech, 37 son of Methuselah, son of Enoch, son of Jared, son of Mahalaleel, son of Cainan, son of Enos, son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God.

This is the lineage of Joseph, the husband of Mary, in the Bible. What I want you to notice, at the end, in bold is the phrase “son of God”. See how, Joseph is, because of the lineage of Jesus, a son of God.

I have been reading through Luke, for Advent. I came across this, and wanted to share it with you. I wrote it down, also so that I would remember it. Thank you for reading my blog!
