The lineage of
Jesus Christ is laid out for us today from Abraham through Joseph, Jesus’ adoptive
father. Family was and is an important part of what it means to be human and
this recounting of his ancestors reminds us of both his humanity and his place
in the Providential Plan of God. We see
all the generations of men, both good and bad, who the Lord has used to bring
about the Word Made Flesh.
How important is
family to us? What are things we can do to show our family how much we love and
appreciate them, even if they are sometimes hard to live with? Can you see
God’s hand at work in your ancestors and how their choices have lead you to
where you are today?
O Lord, help us
to appreciate your providential plan in our lives and led us to where you need us
to be.
Amen.
