Hey, I'm Michael Hoff with Digital Theologian and today we're continuing our study of the Gospel of Matthew. This is the first video where we're diving into the actual text of Scripture with Matthew one, one through 17, the genealogy of Jesus, if that's what you're here for, then you are in the right place.
Matthew 1:1 opens up with, "The genealogy of Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of David, the son of Abraham." First of all, this is a genealogy. Now, that's an interesting word. This word geneseos might sound a little more familiar if we put it into a different form, gen-e-sis, or as you might even be a little bit more familiar from a certain Old Testament book, Genesis. This is the genesis, the beginning of, Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of David, the son of Abraham. And this framing for Matthew firmly places Jesus within the context of being both the kingly line of David and of the ideal Jew, Abraham. And it should be noted that as we talk about this genealogy, ancient genealogies function a little differently than modern ones. And while it's important for people to be able to trace their lineage, especially within the Jewish community, where matters of inheritance, property rights, and really being a part of the ethnic people of God was significant, genealogies carried a ton of weight in Craig Keener's commentary on Matthew, he highlights the fact that most genealogies work their way, from the most recent individual back to the latest individual as they do that they're placing emphasis on those who have come before, it's the individuals in the past that carry the most weight. What Matthew does is invert that standard listing. And he starts with Abraham and works his way down to Jesus. What that does is place emphasis on Jesus by placing him at the end of the genealogy. It's saying that everyone else on that list derives their significance from him.
