Everyone loves a perfect Christmas. But, the conditions of the arrival of Christ and his early years were anything but peaceful. It was chaotic, messy and extremely humble. In this first message of the "Not-So Perfect Christmas" series, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at the lineage of Jesus in Matthew 1. This is the bloodline of the King of Kings, but it is full of imperfection, dysfunction and brokenness; making it just the right backdrop for Christ's redemptive glory to shine through. And, in that truth, we find hope and peace that God is working in our brokenness toward redemption as well.

To Matthew's readers this genealogy was very important, and very interesting. And it was vital to Matthew's presentation of Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, the King of Kings. This is the royal gospel, written to the Jews, to show them that Jesus is the king they were expecting, the one foretold in Scripture.

"For many cultures ancient and modern, and certainly in the Jewish world of Matthewâs day, this genealogy was the equivalent of a roll of drums, a fanfare of trumpets, and a town crier calling for attention. Any first-century Jew would find this family tree both impressive and compelling. Like a great procession coming down a city street, we watch the figures at the front, and the ones in the middle, but all eyes are waiting for the one who comes in the position of greatest honour, right at the end." Tom Wright, Matthew for Everyone, Part 1: Chapters 1-15 (London: Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 2004), 2.

Just how vital is a genealogy? If you are royalty, it is very important. In the identity of the Messiah, it is essential. This morning, we will discover the fascinating genealogy of grace as we trace the line of the Messiah in Matthew 1:1-17.

Where should biographies start? At the birth of the subject? But factors that shaped their lives were in place long before they were born. Parents, the nature of the culture that they were born into, the political situation? Each of our four Gospels starts in a unique position. Matthew, for his part, starts with a genealogy. We may question why Matthew would begin this way, but his introduction has questions for us as well!
Merry Christmas! Embrace Godâs Word with us as Campbell Bortel preaches from Matthew 1:1-17 in the message, The Lineage of Hope.

Surprisingly, when God introduces Jesus to readers of the Bible, He doesn't do so with a miracle or a powerful statement.
Matthew details the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the promised Savior, Messiah, and King of the Old Testament.
