Matthew 1:18 - 1:25
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg explores the end portion of Matthew chapter 1, beginning with the genealogy of Joseph, Jesus' legal father. Joseph's relationship with Mary is also examined, along with the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy. The discussion highlights the significance of Jesus' name, which means Jehovah salvation, and how it relates to the gospel message of eternal life as a result of God's intervention in human history. Finally, Gregg notes that although Joseph and Mary were married and had children, their union was not typical, as Mary remained a virgin until the birth of Jesus.
