Matthew 1
1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king.
And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.
12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
The Talmud from the early First Century is intact and is housed in Scotland. When a citizen of Judea addressed the Sanhedrin Council, or was discussed, his or her bar or 'son', was told. To explain the life lived, the expectation, the family traits. To us, in this generation, something like "Fiddler on the Roof".
When Mary is discussed in the sham of a trial we call Good Friday, the genealogy of Luke 3 is used. The betrothal between Mary and Joseph is from separate sons of the House of King David. This is the history recorded in the Talmud, insulting Jesus and Mary and having a trial. We know the trial was for the reasons Caiaphas told. And this was in line with the amazing, spectacular number of Prophecies in the Old Testament.
There is no doubt this portion of the Talmud has terrible, horror and bias. But the Talmud explains the culture of the generations we can grasp because of the deft and brilliant understated Holy Spirit brush strokes.
Never in the Line of David has so much surrounded a betrothal, in such vast differences of morality and archangels.
Joseph wasn't calling just from Genealogy to decide the fate of unborn Jesus. Yet, Joseph knew some of what we know today in hindsight, but more Joseph could look at his Genealogy and fill in gaps we don't know. Nations lived and seen by these men of David's line. But Joseph knew to think of Mercy. And he knew he was for today, when the fathers slept. It isn't just borders of places God speaks of but borders of generations. Time is not a boundary to God. God of the Living.
Joseph carried so much responsibility. The Jews live the Old Testament as living. Joseph mattered. His wife should be like Zechariah's wife, innocent before G-D.
Joseph and the Old Testament speak of knowing our family in Heaven. To tell of our lives from what we know of their lives. And to find out what has shaped our path. The candle we will hold up to the path of our lives to the generations yet unborn.
Joseph knew the weight of life and expectation. And Joseph chose to look for mercy. God helped Joseph to be merciful. Think of what expectation Joseph could have carried to be Law only.
Jesus is the Light of the world. Jesus went to Egypt. To Tyre. To Samaria. Jesus knew no borders and calls God, God of the Living. God of the Living. God of Light. No borders in time.
Joseph is part of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Joseph and his mercy to the unborn lives without boundaries. Jesus is the Reason.
God of Love. God of Encouragement. Light to the Nations.
