Advent Meditation Week 1: What Does the Genealogy of Jesus Teach Us?

- čas přidán 6. 12. 2021
- What is Advent? It’s the season when we look back to Christ’s first coming, as a baby born in Bethlehem, and look forward to his second coming when he will return to renew and redeem every part of fallen creation. The advent season is therefore a time to reflect upon the promises of God and to anticipate the fulfillment of those promises. It is a time for remembering and rejoicing.

Great to see you again, Tim! (And you, too Kathy!)
LITTLE MAC
"The gospel is good news, not good advice". That is a GOOD insight
I pray for Kathy ❤ if I miss Tim cannot imagine how she feels
LETS GO GOSPEL IN LIFE CZcams IS BACK BABYY!!
Been watching lots of sermons and they have been great for filling me up.
If anyone is reading this please pray for me, in a very helpless place of apathetic faith with little motivation.
Praying for you man (I’m assuming man is correct), I could use some prayer as well. I feel like I know that I’m saved by grace but I’m not letting it affect my daily life.
Praying for you now Joey.

Praying now Bro. Joey! God bless you!
"Slow down before you freak out!" Thank you, Kellers! Sending prayers and Thanksgiving to God for you!
You'll be missed Man of God! Great inspiration and teacher!
Thank you!
The love and respect the two of you have for each other is evident in this video. Thank you for sharing your time and wisdom.
One of the most profound concise and practical expositions on the genealogy of Jesus of Nazareth.
"Slow down before you freak out." I think I've just found my first New Year's resolution for 2022!
i love this couple
Beautiful meditation on The grace of Jesus, for those who know him and those who dont.
Thank you so much, Tim and Kathy! Here's praying you have the best Christmas of your lives!
Dear pastor Tim. You are a Gift from God to us The church. Thanks a Lot for your ministry. Praise be to God. Best regards. God bless you.
Thank you for posting this. It’s much needed with today’s attacks on the Bible.
Love the both of you so very dearly and more than you'll ever know. The things you have helped me to understand and grow closer to God as a result, is beyond what I can simply or adaquetely say thank you for. Thank you for always sharing the GOOD NEWS! You are in my prayers.
Wow thank you Pastor what a wonderful message of grace and hope. I feel so blessed it made me cry. God bless you.
Hi Tim and Kathy! Been praying for you. So thankful for this new video. God Bless!
So gratefull to see both of you. Thank you for the teaching. I read many of your books and at least 1 to 2 times a week, I listen to your video sermon. I have come to know God a lot more and learning to love God more, by loving others, start from family, office and so on. Thank you and will keep you in my prayers too. (Jakarta, Indonesia).
Yahoo! Tim's back, thank you for letting the Lord use you in our lives, I hope you continue to help us remember for a long time why God has to be 1st. ^_^
What a kind couple. God is good 😌🙌
Yay!! I've missed these videos! You both look great! Merry Christmas 🥰
Thank you Kathy for asking the Luke question right off! Tim it is so wonderful to hear from you during this Advent season!
Didn’t know gospels’ genealogies are rich with awesome (correct) doctrine. Sooo refreshing. Upside down kingdom 😘
Yay! I started to memorize Matthew a few years ago and stopped dead in my tracks at the genealogy because having to absorb every single name and line of it blew my mind (in a good way). I realized some things said here as well as the fact that basically this genealogy summarizes the entire Old Testament and caps it off which is of course what Jesus does with his life and teachings: caps off and fulfills the OT. Every single person listed in this genealogy has a developed story in the Old testament and you can basically recite the Old Testament off this outline of Jesus's genealogy. Brilliant! By summarizing the OT before starting the New Testament Matthew was basically saying to the Jews, Jesus is one of us, confirms and speaks to everything or ancestors taught and continues it. Proof He's the Messiah.
Amen
Glad to see you again, Tim and Kathy. You both look great, serene and optimistic as usual. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and encouragement.
Sending love and prayer to you both. 💌

“The doctrine doesn’t matter just live a good life..is actually a doctrine, the doctrine of justification by works.” ☝️👌😆 😘
So happy to see you both, thank you 🙏
Bless you both, Tim and Kathy.

"Anyone can be a member of my family"
According to Rom. 1.3 and the Davidic Covenant Jesus had to be from David's body (mim me e ka)-2Sam. 7.12. When reading the 3rd chapter of Luke (the genealogy), its important to remember the previous two chapters-who was it speaking about? This is Mary's brother's genealogy usually, but, since Mary was a virgin and not yet married, it was her lineage also.
Luke was in Palestine while Paul was imprisoned for more than two years (Acts 24-26). Luke's source for the infancy account had be from only one possible source who knew Elisabeth's song and her (Mary) magnificant. There is no question Paul believed (from Rom. 1.3) that Luke wrote down Mary's genealogy.
Can anyone expand on how Dr Keller gets to seven 7's with three 14's? I must be missing something
@Julia Lammers oh maybe that's his logic! Thanks!
I was wondering the same thing. It's a little oblique to the simple reading of the text.
You probably have your answer but, just in case: 3*14=6+Jesus as the seventh seven.
Am I missing something? Three sets of 14 generations doesn’t result in 7x7 generations. Aren’t there 7 generations missing somewhere?
May I pick that up that with making mistakes. What I have been taught is that Luke’s genealogy is that of Josef, and that of Mathews is that of Mary’s with a mistake in it that in Verse 16: … Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ. That word “husband" in the original language does not mean solely husband but male relative. It can also be the father, uncle, brother…
And that would make sense because of the different names given in Mathew and Luke’s genealogy.
And it fits the 14 generation thing. As if this Josef is Mary’s husband there will be only 13 generations till Jesus, but if it is Mary’s father then there will be 14 generations, Jesus making the 14. -count it.
Much love!
This is NOT CORRECT explanation for the main differences. Matthew’s genealogy is of Joseph and Luke’s of Mary. In paternal line there is SOLOMON and in maternal line is NATHAN.
Hello
In order to find out if we believe in Jesus we must believe His word is truth.
His word is first, not the apostles, not Paul and not your pastor or priest!
We need to read the words of our Messiah and use THEM as the standard.
In that remember Jesus also said: Do """"ALL""""" that Moses said. Matthew 23:1-3
In John 5:47 Jesus says "But if you dont believe in Moses writings, how will you believe in His!
In Luke 16:31 "" If they dont listen to Moses & the prophets, they won't listen if someone rises from the dead""
Gee I wonder do you who rose from the dead that He was talking about?
It comes down to this; if you dont accept Moses writings, or the prophets, you won't accept what Jesus says.
Jesus ""never contradicted the Father therefore He never contradicted what Moses wrote.
Jesus didn't start a new religion. If He did, the pharisees would've crucified Him for that!
Remember they found no fault in Him!!!
That means when they studied the writings of Moses there wasn't any contradiction with what He said and what the Father had Moses write down.
He didn't teach a new religion He came to show us "The Way" to walk out the old one.
Don't let Jesus say to you "" Depart from me you who practice lawlessness""
Instead believe His words """ If you love me keep my commandments""""
His commands are exactly the fathers commands.
These very commands that Moses wrote!
From Matthew Ch1 vs 12:
12 After the exile to Babylon:
Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel, ------> 1st generation
Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, ------> 2nd generation
13 Zerubbabel the father of Abihud,
Abihud the father of Eliakim,
Eliakim the father of Azor,
14 Azor the father of Zadok,
Zadok the father of Akim,
Akim the father of Elihud,
15 Elihud the father of Eleazar,
Eleazar the father of Matthan,
Matthan the father of Jacob, ------> 11 generations
16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, ------> 12 generations
and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah. ------> 13th generation
Am I counting these generations right to get 14 generations from Babylonian exile to Messiah?
Very good, but 14+14+14 = 42, that’s not seven 7’s. Just saying. 😂
He said 14 is equal to twice seven, not the sum of 14 times 3.
Slow down before you freak out😂
Fantistic
Not incest
She, the daughter, initiated in incest with her estranged father-in-law. He was also fully complicit.
The point is that sin, ugly & regrettable sin, isn't beyond Jesus' full & sweet forgivness. His cross conqueres sin & shame.
