Happy easter! It’s a fact that everyone knows Jesus and what he did for all mankind. But does everyone know how Jesus came to be born and who his ancestors were. In addition, without his ancestors, he won’t be Jesus after all. We have to be thankful for Jesus’ ancestors, because without them there will be no savior at all and Christianity would not exist.

Many people, lives, after the words of Christ and God. Many people have incorporated the words of God through Christ in their lives and leave to serve as a guide to every day on how to live their lives. You must consider that many people to follow Christ and, even if Christ was born and spread the word of God for thousands of years, Christianity and Jesus Christ are still alive in the hearts of many people.

So where Jesus came from and who are its ancestors? If you read the bible, you know about the genealogy of Christ as stated in the book of Matthew and Luke. You will see that Jesus is the genealogy back to King David, and then it goes back to Abraham. However, there are significant differences on the genealogy of Christ between the two books. In Abraham to King David, the genealogy is quite similar. However, from King David, Matthew and Luke explains the genealogy of a very different way.

In Matthew, you will see that it will begin with Solomon and the line will proceed to the types of Judah and Jeconiah. From there, he jumped up to four generations. You’ll also see that the genealogy of Jesus shows that Jesus Christ is the legal heir to the throne of Israel.

In Luke, you will see that it will begin with King David. However, it will proceed with the son of King David. Instead of King Solomon as stated in Matthew, you will see that Luke indicates that the lineage of Jesus begins with King David another son named Nathan. The two genealogies have been debated by historians and genealogists for years. Until now, the debate is still ongoing and a number of theories and facts are coming.

You will see that everything is very confusing and difficult to explain. There are quite a number of people involved and some have even said that the genealogy of Jesus is quite impossible to interpret because of the contradiction genealogy written by Matthew and Luke.

However, no matter how complicated it is, you still have to consider that Jesus is still regarded as the son of God. His mother, Mary is seen to give birth to Jesus Christ as a virgin. You should assume that whatever the genealogy of Jesus, he is still regarded as the savior of man.

If you want to see Jesus’ genealogy, you can read the Bible from the Gospel, Matthew 1:2-16 and Luke 3:23-38. You can have your own theories, but in the end, Jesus will always be regarded as the savior of man.
