Family. So important and sometimes so complicated. It reminds me of eating Smarties or M&M's, I do have my favourite colours which I eat first, but I eat all of them. We have our favourite family members, but we have to love them all.
Do you come from a perfect family? Well, neither did Jesus. And Matthew does not spare to tell us just that in Jesus’ genealogy - he seems to highlight several rather shady characters in Matthew 1. But, none the less, through it all, a promise made by God, was still fulfilled - that Jesus would be a descendant from Abraham and from David (Matt 1:1). God made a promise to Abraham in Gen 12:3 “All the families on earth will be blessed through you” and John 7:42 says that “Christ comes from the seed of David” - the promise fulfilled.
Today we can find comfort in the fact that God use imperfect people like you and me, to accomplish His purposes and plans.Your family, good or bad does not qualify or disqualify you from God's grace over the promises he gave you.
To surrender to His will and plan for our lives is the best we can do to show that we trust him with his promises for us!
