Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Prophesy of the Messiah” – Faith: Kings and successful people become famous because of their achievements or inheritance. But, Jesus, the Messiah’s Greatness, was prophesised long before His Incarnation. Ponder on, “This historical event is possible only with Divine Providence revealing His Mystery. Do we still doubt in the Messiah?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 1:1-2a, 6b, 11b, 16-17
Roll of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, son of David, son of Abraham:
Abraham was the father of Isaac ….
David was the father of Solomon ….
Then the deportation to Babylon took place.
Jacob was the father Joseph the husband of Mary; of her was born Jesus who is called Christ.
The sum of generations is therefore: fourteen from Abraham to David; fourteen from David to the Babylonian deportation; and fourteen from the Babylonian deportation to Christ.
