The <strong>Life Application\u00ae commentary notes<\/strong> speak to this in the two places Jesus\u2019 genealogy shows up\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=matt+1%3A1-17&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Matthew 1:1-17<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=luke+3%3A23-38&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luke 3:23-38<\/a>. Here is some content adapted from the <strong>Life Application\u00ae commentary notes<\/strong> on Matthew\u2019s genealogy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>1:1-17\u00a0Beginning his book by presenting this record of ancestors (called a genealogy) was the best way that Matthew could interest a Jewish audience. Because a Jewish person\u2019s family line proved his or her standing as one of God\u2019s chosen people, Matthew began by showing that Jesus was a descendant of Abraham, the father of all Jews, and a direct descendant of David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah\u2019s line. The facts of this ancestry were carefully preserved. Matthew used this and many other proofs to show that Jesus is the true Messiah.<\/p><p>1:1-17\u00a0In the first 17 verses of Matthew we meet 46 people whose lifetimes span 2,000 years. All were ancestors of Jesus, but they varied considerably in personality, spiritual maturity, and experience. Some were heroes of faith, like Abraham, Isaac, Ruth, and David. Some came from outside Israel or had shady reputations, like Rahab, Tamar, and Ruth. Many were very ordinary, like Hezron, Ram, Nahshon, and Akim. And others were evil, like Manasseh and Abijah. Human failures or sins cannot limit or block God\u2019s work in history. He works through both remarkable and ordinary people. Just as God chose all kinds of people to be part of the lineage of Jesus, he uses all kinds today to accomplish his will, in the present and for the future. And God wants to use you. This is one of Matthew\u2019s main purposes\u2014to show how you can be part of God\u2019s Kingdom by following Jesus.<\/p><p>Matthew\u2019s genealogy of Jesus lists the good, the bad, and the ugly, and it intentionally does not leave out people who seemed questionable. The point Matthew is trying to make is that God sent his Son as the Savior of all people\u2014Jews, Gentiles, men, and women. No matter who people are or where they come from, God\u2019s plan of salvation is offered to all people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-luke-s-genealogy-of-jesus\"><strong>Luke&#8217;s Genealogy of Jesus<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is some more content from the <strong>Life Application\u00ae commentary notes<\/strong> on Luke\u2019s genealogy of Jesus (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=luke+3%3A23-38&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luke 3:23-38<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>3:23-38&nbsp;Matthew\u2019s genealogy goes back to Abraham and shows that Jesus is related to all Jews (Matthew&nbsp;1). Luke\u2019s genealogy goes back to Adam, showing that Jesus is related to all human beings. This is consistent with Luke\u2019s picture of Jesus as the fully human Savior of the whole world.<\/p><p>3:23&nbsp;Imagine the Savior of the world working in a small-town carpenter\u2019s shop until he was 30 years old! It seems incredible that Jesus would have been content to remain in Nazareth all that time, but he patiently trusted his Father\u2019s timing for his life and ministry. Thirty was the prescribed age for priests to begin their ministry (Numbers 4:3). Joseph was 30 years old when he began serving the king of Egypt (Genesis 41:46), and David was 30 years old when he began to reign over Judah (2&nbsp;Samuel 5:4). Age 30, then, was a good time to begin an important task in the Jewish culture. Like Jesus, we need to resist the temptation to jump ahead before receiving the Spirit\u2019s direction. Are you waiting and wondering what your next step should be? Trust God\u2019s timing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>By noticing how Matthew and Luke crafted their genealogies, we can learn more about Jesus. Matthew wants us to see that Jesus is the offspring of both Abraham and David. In other words, he is Abraham&#8217;s offspring (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=gal+3%3A16&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gal 3:16<\/a>) and David&#8217;s greater Son (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=2+sam+7%3A1-17&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2 Sam 7:1-17<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=rom+1%3A3-4&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rom 1:3-4<\/a>). Luke wants us to see that Jesus is the Son of God (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=luke+3%3A22&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luke 3:22<\/a>) like Adam (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=luke+3%3A38&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luke 3:38<\/a>), but where Adam succumbed to temptation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=gen+3%3A1-7&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gen 3:1-7<\/a>), Jesus successfully resisted it (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/bible\/?query=luke+4%3A1-13&amp;version=ESV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Luke 4:1-13<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-and-apply-the-bible-with-the-life-application-study-bible\"><strong>Learn and Apply the Bible with the Life Application Study Bible<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.olivetree.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/LASBNLTJKVComboInApp-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/LASBNLTJKVComboInApp-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/LASBNLTJKVComboInApp-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/LASBNLTJKVComboInApp-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/LASBNLTJKVComboInApp.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a combination of charts, personal profiles, and commentary notes, the newly revised and expanded edition of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olivetree.com\/store\/product.php?productid=56100\">Life Application Study Bible<\/a> can assist you in reading, studying, understanding, and applying some of the most challenging material you will encounter in the Bible.
