The Jesus Bible Reading Planનમૂનો

JESUS FROM THE FAMILY OF NOAH

Though not every ancient people group is listed in this chapter, it is seen here that all of the people of the earth, regardless of locale or language, descended from Noah. From this line Abraham and ultimately Jesus will emerge. It was Abraham with whom God made an everlasting covenant, promising that kings would come from his line (Ge 17:6). In the first line of the New Testament, Jesus is introduced as Messiah and “the son of Abraham” (Mt 1:1). It is clear to see, even this early on in Scripture, that God had a plan that was ultimately revealed in Jesus. The coming of Jesus as the Promised One in the line of Abraham established the continuity of the promise and plan of God from Genesis to Revelation.

Jesus, it is both comforting and inspiring to imagine the lineage that has led to me. Please help me to honor it and—more importantly—to honor you with my life. Amen.
