The Christmas Family Tree (1 of 3)
Series: The Christmas Family Tree
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Matthew 1:1-5
Now with 24 days before Christmas, take God's Word and turn with me to Matthew 1 where we find
The Christmas Family Tree!
Now there is a difference between The Christmas Family Tree and The Family Christmas Tree.
On The Family Christmas Tree are LIGHTS; In The Christmas Family Tree are LIVES.
On The Family Christmas Tree is HOLLY;
In The Christmas Family Tree is HISTORY.
On The Family Christmas Tree are DECORATIONS;
In The Christmas Family Tree are DISCOVERIES.

It starts out in verse 2, ''Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot Judah and his brothers.'' No real surprises there. But like your family tree, if you keep searching long enough, you're going to find a few surprises. The same is true of Jesus. In fact, this Christmas Family Tree has four Gentiles in it and they were all women!
You find a woman named Tamar in verse 3 who was a Canaanite. Then there is Rahab from Jericho in verse 5. Also in verse 5 there is Ruth the Moabitess. And finally Uriah's wife who was Bathsheba in verse 6 who was a Hittite.
Without those four women and the rest of those on The Christmas Family Tree, there would hav ...
