I never used to think that all the geneology info in the bible was too terribly important. It is very lengthy and hard to follow at times.
Now, I know better. There is a reason for every word in the bible.
Amen. Abraham’s sin with Hagar, although sanctioned by Sarah his wife goes to show that sin will get you in the end.
The history and geneology of the Old Testament and how sin was covered with the blood of animals, and coupled with the
New Testament primise of Jesus as the once and for all sacrifice gives us the knowledge of how things happened, its effect on us, and what will happen now and in the future because of it. It lends new meaning to “reaping what you sow”. It’s not only in your lifetime, but effects generations to come.
I have two blogs that I have just started, one with a friend dedicated to the Bible, and another one where I express some deep felt opinions so drop by http://lbsmbroadcast.blogspot.com and read our posts.
