Son of David
So, What’s the Big Deal About Genealogy
In the last several years, there has been an increase in the number of people wanting to know about their ancestors. However, genealogy has always been important in the Bible. For instance, consider the first verse of the first chapter of the first book of the New Testament, Matthew 1:1.
The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Just in case someone might doubt Jesus’s rightful place as heir to King David’s throne, His lineage is recorded for the next twenty-five verses. Yes, Jesus is the Son of God, but He is also the Son of David. Among the many important implications, it is important to recognize that Jesus knows what it is to live in human skin – to need a nap, to feel tears roll down His cheek, and to thirst as He hung on the cross. Jesus’s genealogy is well proved and we will one day see Him sitting on His throne.
Son of David, we praise You for willingly leaving Your heavenly home to put on flesh and live among us. We love and adore You.

The last several years, discovering one’s ancestors and genealogy have become increasingly hot pursuits. But it’s not just a recent topic of interest. Genealogy is an important topic in the Bible, as seen in the first verse of the first chapter of the first book of the New Testament. Matthew 1:1 states, “The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” Just in case someone might doubt Jesus’s rightful place as heir to King David’s throne, His lineage is recorded for the next twenty-five verses.

Could You Use a Little Sympathy
Are you going through a rough time? Have you thought to yourself, “Nobody understands.” Or, “No one knows what I’m going through.” It may be true that friends and family don’t know what you’re going through, but Jesus does and He sympathizes with you in your struggles and temptations. Hebrews 4:15 tells us, ”we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.” In other words, Jesus gets what it’s like to live in human skin and experience hurt and struggles. He knows what its like to battle temptation. If you’re feeling alone and would like a little sympathy, you’ve got it. Jesus sympathizes with what you’re going through, and what’s more, He’s there for you.
Son of David, we adore and praise You for willingly leaving heaven to put on flesh and live among us. Thank You for sympathizing with our weaknesses and interceding on our behalf.

Praise to the Son of David
“The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:”
I love the details that the Bible gives to help us more fully understand and appreciate our relationship with the Lord. Matthew records the genealogy of Jesus; showing His human lineage. Jesus is the Son of Man and the Son of God. As the son of David, He relates to our temptations and what it’s like to be in human skin – to hurt, feel pain, and weep. As Hebrews 4:15 says, “we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.” If you feel like no one knows what you’re going through, think again. Jesus does. And, He loves you and sympathizes with you in your struggles and sufferings. You are not alone.
Son of David, we adore and praise You for willingly leaving Your heavenly home to put on flesh, live among us, and die for us. Thank You for being with us and never leaving us.
