Names that matter
Why are genealogies in the Bible?
Family establishes identity
Inconsistencies - not meant to be a biological family tree
Abraham, David, progression of kings
Unlikely names - wicked kings, gentiles, women
4 + 6 + 4
David is most important on this list
Matthew establishing Jesus as rightful king to a Jewish audience
Hebrew letters are used as numbers
Daleth=4, Waw(v)=6 – David (DWD) is 4+6+4=14
Matthew intentionally calls attention to importance of 14 (David)
Jewish people expected Messiah to be David
Matthew’s list reminds us of David’s mixed history
Jesus is born into a lineage of many names – some good & some bad
Names that matter
We all carry names – shaped by our past
Examples: successful, struggling, encouraging, angry, competitive, generous, mean, reliable, cheater, anxious, confident, quitter, strong, meek, needy, gracious, independent, sinner
Some names I carry proudly, some names I’d rather not have
Jesus was born to come into our lineage of names
