Biblical genealogies are telling a story—they are telling THE story of God’s restoring to humanity the rest, rule, and relationship we had with Him in the Garden of Eden.
And he is doing it through the “seed of the woman” (Genesis 3:15).
They are often used to tell smaller stories—such as introducing a character like Noah.
Yet every genealogy ultimately is tied to this greater story.
1. Genealogies Matter because it Places the Bible in Real History
Bible translator
2. Genealogies Matter because it Tells Us That Ordinary People and Ordinary Actions Matter
“Nahshon the father of Salmon”
3. Genealogies Matter because They Remind Us of God’s Sovereign Care
Reading through the book of Ruth we learn that “Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth” is a situation that could have only been brought about by God’s sovereign care.
Ruth was a widow.
She was a Moabite woman.
Boaz did not have to do what he did, but he cared for Ruth.
His care is but a shadow of the care of God for humanity.
It would be through Boaz and Ruth that we would have Obed, then Jesse, then King David.
Even if we do not know “Hezron the father of Ram” we know there was a story behind this.
Each birth is a miracle.
And each one a testimony to God’s sovereign care.
4. Genealogies Matter because They Tell of God’s Grace
“David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah”
We will likely someday be one of those faceless names.
But we aren’t faceless to the Lord.
Our story is part of His story.
