14 generations - Abraham to David.
14 generations - David to Jeconiah.
14 generations - Jeconiah to Jesus.
Jesus came from a royal descendant - but a fallen dynasty since the exile of the Israelites in the land of Babylon.
Many of Jesus' previous descendants have God's greatest impact. Eg, Rahab, the prostitute who was by faith, helped the Israelites to gain a victory in Jericho, Manasseh the evil king who repented at the end, Josiah the young king who burned for God and desired His laws.
I felt there is a central message for me to ponder; the obedience and turning back to God no matter how wretched I am.
Even Joseph obeyed God's instruction in the dream in order to protect the baby Jesus from being harmed.
As I refected on this passage, I realised how much I have disobeyed God in many areas of my life. It is now my decision to do what is right and to move a notch closer to God each day of my moment in life.
