In this exposition of Matthew 1:1, Pastor Adam invites us to discover the profound significance of Jesus' identity. This single verse introduces Jesus as the Christ (Messiah), the son of David, and the son of Abraham. We learn how Jesus fulfills seemingly contradictory prophecies, both as a conquering king (Son of David) and a blessing to all nations (Son of Abraham). The paradox is resolved through Christ's sacrificial death and resurrection, defeating sin and death while offering reconciliation to all. As we grasp who Jesus truly is, we're challenged to reconsider our own identity, as "New Creations in Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
