Your relatives
There is something powerful about knowing where you come from and whom you are related to. It creates a sense of belonging. For Matthew, being a Jew, and writing to a Jewish audience, he saw the importance of the lineage of Jesus. By beginning with his genealogy we can see that not only was he was the son of God, but also the son of David, Jacob, Isaac, Abraham. He was fully God and fully human. The creator and the created.
