Genealogies and Jesus

Have you ever wondered why there are so many lists of names in the Bible? Rather than sections of Scripture to skip, these important sections of Scripture trace God's faithfulness in delivering on his promise for a descendent who will reverse the fall, who will bless the nations, and who will rule and reign forever and ever. The genealogies start with Adam but have their end in Jesus.

The genealogies, in pointing to Jesus, are good news!
