Summary of Matthew Chapter 1 1. Genealogy of Jesus (Verses 1–17) •Matthew begins with the genealogy of Jesus Christ, presenting Him as the Son of David and Son of Abraham. •Genealogy is divided into three sets of fourteen generations: 1.From Abraham to David. 2.From David to the Babylonian exile. 3.From the exile to Jesus, the Messiah. •The genealogy highlights both famous figures (Abraham, David, Solomon) and unexpected ones (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba), showing God’s plan working through both the faithful and those with difficult stories. •It stresses Jesus as the fulfillment of Old Testament promises, the heir of David’s royal line, and the long-awaited Messiah. ________________________________________ 2. Birth of Jesus (Verses 18–25) •The birth of Jesus is narrated as a divine event through the power of the Holy Spirit. •Mary, though a virgin, was conceived by the Spirit. Joseph, a righteous man, initially planned to divorce her quietly to avoid shame. •An angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, telling him not to fear taking Mary as his wife, because the child was of divine origin. •The angel instructed him to name the child Jesus, meaning “God saves”, since He would save His people from their sins. •This fulfills the prophecy: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall call him Emmanuel”—meaning “God is with us.” •Joseph obeyed the angel, took Mary as his wife, and when the child was born, he named Him Jesus. ________________________________________ Key Points •Jesus is firmly placed in Israel’s history, showing continuity with God’s covenant to Abraham and David. •The inclusion of women and irregular stories in the genealogy reflects God’s surprising and merciful plan. •The virgin birth emphasizes divine intervention and the fulfillment of prophecy. •The names Jesus (God saves) and Emmanuel (God with us) summarize His mission and identity.
