Jesus Christ: A Savior for Everyone Part II

Jesus Christ: A Savior for Everyone - Part 2

Introduction:

When God was planning Jesus’ ancestry, it would have made sense to give Him a royal lineage that would impress the world since He was coming to save the whole world.  Instead He chose the most ignoble ancestry possible--one that anyone, even the gravest sinner could identify with.

Let’s take a look at some of the women in Jesus’ lineage.

Tamar

Tamar was the wife of Judah’s oldest son, Er.  Er was wicked and consequently died.  If Onan, the second son, had been obedient to Hebrew law, he would have taken Tamar as his wife, so she could produce offspring for his brother.  He refused and also died.  Shelah, the third son, also did not marry Tamar, so she made her own plans.
