Text: Matthew 1:1-17
Author: Steve Wagers
The Taylors were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had traveled to America as pilgrims on the Mayflower. They had included congressmen, successful entrepreneurs, famous sports figures and television stars. They decided to research and write a family history, something for their children and grandchildren.

Spurgeon: "He who never began to be, but eternally existed, began to be what He eternally was not, and continued to be what He eternally was."

So much GOD, as if He was not a M
So much Man, as if He was not God
God - NOT ABLE to sin
Man - ABLE NOT to sin
2 Gospel Genealogies
MATTHEW - Abraham - (SON OF GOD) - HEAVENLY
LUKE - Adam - (SON OF MAN) - HUMAN
At Bethlehem - DIVINITY kissed HUMANITY and the world felt the smack
(Isaiah 9:6) "Unto us a child is born (HUMANITY), unto us a son is ...
