Jesus is the fulfillment of all God’s promises.
Luke 3: 23-38
Genealogies are very important. They give us our roots and help us to understand our heritage. Luke traces Jesus’ lineage all the way back to Adam, father of the human race. Luke stresses the real humanity of Jesus. Jesus came not just to save the chosen people but all humankind as well. Jesus is the fulfillment of all God’s promises. He is the hope not only for the people of the Old Covenant but for all nations as well.
Luke states that Jesus was thirty years old when he began his public ministry. Jesus was responsible and faithful in the mundane duties of family life. Before he embraced public duties, he showed his fidelity and concern for domestic duties. If we want to be fit to carry on the Lord’s mission today, we must learn faithfulness in great matters by first being faithful in little matters of home and work.
Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Savior of the World. Be Lord and ruler of my heart and home. May there be nothing in my life that is not under your kingship. (Don Schwager)
