Your Ancestry

Your ancestry.  It is important to know your place in the lineage of your family.

Matthew’s gospel begins with the lineage of Jesus.  In the list are godly persons like Josiah and Hezekiah.  But the list also includes persons of questionable character…like Tamar and Rahab. The Bible always tells it like it is.

So…you may be proud and thankful for your lineage — or you may be disappointed and hurt.  Either way…recognize your place in the lineage is God’s plan.

Since a chain is only as strong as its weakest link… be sure that your link in the chain is godly and strong.  And be grateful for the gift of life…even though your lineage may include persons less than worthy of praise.

Be sure your link in the chain is strong.
