The Wonderful Birth of Jesus
Jesse M. Hendley
Matthew 1:1,18-25
The Word of God is so beautiful! What a privilege to have the Bible in our hands! What a privilege it is to know Jesus Christ and to study about the Person and Teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and to walk with Him! As we study the four Gospels, we'll find ourselves walking with Christ. We can come to know Him as our Saviour. We can become more like Him. We can understand His mind and His heart.

And here in the beginning of the New Testament we have the generation of Jesus, the Christ.
The Greek word generation is geneseos. We get genesis from this. It means ''source, origin.'' It has to do with the ''birth'' of Jesus Christ, the ''source'' of His life in this present world. Distinctly He is sai ...
