Matthew’s record, here, about the birth of Christ makes it plain that this man, Jesus, is a most extraordinary person. God himself has made him king.
As the chosen one, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin – there is no one else who’s qualified to save you from your sins, and to bring you close to God.
This genealogy declares that joy has come to the world, in the coming of the Christ. And it sends a message to all people, “Let earth receive her King.”
