Qualified to be the Savior
Part 12 - uke 3:23-38 (ESV) - Pastor Tim Kroeker
John 1:12-13 NASB
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”

After his baptism by John, Jesus began his public ministry, on his way to accomplishing the mission for which he had been sent. However, Luke interrupts the narrative to add a piece of historical data that might seem insignificant to some and even boring to others; the genealogy of Jesus. Biblical genealogies should not just be skipped over or ignored. In them we find hidden gems of truth. And so it is here at the end of Luke chapter 3. Jesus’ ancestry uniquely qualified him to be the Savior because not only was he a descendant of David, born to be the King of the Jews, he was a descendant of Adam, born to be the Savior of the world. Because of who Jesus was we can all become children of God.
