At first glance, it looked like Matthew made a big mistake in his genealogy of Jesus by placing him in the line of David, since he admitted that Jesus was born of Mary, not of Joseph. In Matthew 1:18-25, he went on to explain how Jesus was conceived and what role Joseph played in his life, which in turn explains how Jesus entered the line of David. He also revealed the meanings of the two names of Jesus, which tell us who he is and why he came.
The construction of the tabernacle foreshadowed greater dwellings of God, which he keeps building by plundering the nations.
Christian thinking is thinking like Jesus, especially as seen in his becoming one of us to die on the cross.
God sent his unique Son in human flesh to be the propitiation for sins, Savior of the world, and life for all who believe.
