luke3



	~Luke 3:23-38~
	gives the genealogy of Mary.
	The genealogy of Joseph
	is given in Matthew
	beginning with Abraham
	coming through
	David and SOLOMON
	to Jesus.
	It is the ROYAL LINE
	gives Jesus the right
	to the throne of David
	through Joseph
	who became
	the husband of Mary.
	Mary's line given here in Luke
	reverses the order.
	It begins with Heli
	the father of Mary (not Joseph).
	It goes back to
	Adam the son of God.
	It comes through
	David and his son NATHAN.
	It gives the BLOOD LINE
	of Jesus.
	Matthew's genealogy
	goes back to Abraham,
	the father of the Jews
	and presents Jesus
	as "King of the Jews".
	Luke's genealogy does not stop
	at Abraham but goes back to Adam, the first man, and shows that Jesus was a truly a man.
	Luke then presents Jesus
	as "the Son of Man".
	He became a man
	in order to die as a man
	to save us from our sins.
	The Word became flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten son of God." John 1:14

	"For the Son of Man is come
	to seek and to save
	that which was lost."
	Luke 19:10
