In a world that often conceals imperfections, Jesus's lineage begs us to embrace our histories—filled with trauma, pain, and brokenness—as integral to our identities. Through the lens of grace, we will examine the ancestral stories within Matthew's genealogy, reflecting on the messy and often flawed characters who shaped the Messiah's heritage. Each name, fraught with failure and redemption, invites us to confront our own narratives. Join us as we seek to understand how confronting our stories can lead to healing, transformation, and ultimately, a deeper revelation of God's grace in our lives. Grace, in its true form, confronts us with our history—not to shame us, but to reveal the gold that glimmers in our scars.
