IS GOD BEATEN?

The genealogy of Jesus Christ - what a rogues’ gallery that is... flawed patriarchs, then flawed kings, then powerless governors.                                   
A truly tragic saga of Man’s failure!                                                                       

Do you remember how the royal line was all but wiped out, except for a princess hiding her baby nephew Joash for 6 years?   That was a close call but it’s worse now!  
God once promised to King David: “Thy throne shall be established forever”... but then put a curse on the last king!.. that’s Jechonias.                                                 

Has God’s plan of redemption been defeated?  Has He painted Himself into a corner?
There is only one way He can redeem the situation with the promised Messiah...    
God must miraculously stoop into humanity - Himself - as promised 700 years before!... Matthew 1:18-

“Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel...GOD WITH US”

Notice this child is not just without a biological father but...                                                          ‘of the HOLY GHOST’



The angel of the Lord appeared unto him

Who is this Mary? Never mind.  

Joseph may come from cursed royalty but must now step up as a ‘son of David’: firstly to marry Mary as planned and then to name the Child...     


JESUS: “For he shall save His people from their sins”                                     

...with more angelic instructions to come – to be obeyed instantly!

Whoever will honour this new King?.....NEXT
