We believe that the Bible is the written word of God. However, there is an idea that scripture can be understood and applied based on who is reading it. With this podcast we want to dig deeper into Bible stories and understand what the Scriptures meant to the audience of that time and what it means to us now as XYZers. We say XYZers because the host of this podcast are Chris (Gen X), Moyo (Gen Y) and Jasmine (Gen Z). Each host is at a different place in their walk with Christ but all have a desire to grow closer to God by understanding the words He's already laid out for us.
Season 6 Episode 1 – Matthew 1: His Name is Jesus!!
Coming Up 0:00
Intro 0:00
Read Matthew 1 1 - 3:59
The Book of Genealogy of Jesus Christ - Remind you of Something
Christ points to Old Testament Fulfillment
The colorless translation “Jesus Christ” here and in v. 18 in many English versions does not do justice to the excitement in Matthew’s introduction of Jesus under the powerfully evocative title “Messiah,” the long-awaited deliverer of God’s people, in whom their history has now come to its climax
R. T. France, The Gospel of Matthew (https://ref.ly/logosres/nicnt61mt?ref=Bible.Mt1.1&off=2059&ctx=d%2c+son+of+Abraham.%E2%80%9D+~The+colorless+transl), The New International Commentary on the New Testament (Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publication Co., 2007), 34–35.
The Son of David
Alludes to the Covenant Promise (2 Sam 17 12-16)
The Son of Abraham
Alludes to the Covenant Promise (Gen 12 1-3)
On “The Book of the Genealogy of Christ …”
It shows that the period of preparation is now complete, and that the stage is set for the dawning of the time of fulfillment in the coming of the promised Messiah.
