4. A boring way to begin a book?
ESV Matthew 1:1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, 3 and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, 4 and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, 5 and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, 6 and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, 7 and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, 8 and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, 9 and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, 10 and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, 11 and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon. 12 And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, 13 and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, 14 and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, 15 and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
“The first verse stunned me,” Jerry recalls. “It said that Jesus was related to my forefathers.”
Most of us, if we are honest, find that the first few verses of the NT are boring. They may be good for getting us to sleep if we have insomnia, but they aren't generally appreciate as literature [read 1:1-3 with a yawn].
While I was a student at Dallas Seminary, I had the privilege of meeting Jeremiah Benjamin—a true Jewish name if you ever heard one! Jerry was from such a strictly orthodox Jewish family that the New Testament was forbidden in his home. However, a Christian student once gave him a NT and challenged him to read it. So he snuck into his room, climbed into bed, pulled the sheets over him and took out his flashlight.
[Animation] "The first verse stunned me," Jerry later recalled. "It said that Jesus was related to my forefathers."
My experience with Jerry helped me to see that Matthew's beginning didn't interest me because I am a Gentile who wasn't looking for Israel's king. I didn't even know what questions to ask or what to look for. But Matthew was written for the Jewish heart and mind. Therefore, he starts off with a bang: Jesus was actually a direct descendant of King David and therefore fulfilled the lineage necessary to be Israel's king!

“Luke was tracing the line of Mary. Many interpreters [among varied positions…] argue that Luke was giving the genealogy of Mary, showing that she also was in the line of David and that therefore Jesus was qualified as the Messiah, not only through Joseph (since he was the oldest legal heir) but also through Mary.”

Temporary (Gal. 3:19) and conditional (Deut. 28) to reveal sin (Rom. 7:7) and regulate Israel (Gal. 3:23-25)
Scripture has a dual kingdom-covenant emphasis. Israel's role from Abraham to Christ expands to include the Church (continuity) yet the Church never replaces the nation as the "new Israel" (discontinuity). Israel will again enjoy world prominence after trusting in Christ at His second coming.

56. The Great Commission Matthew 28:18-20
18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of…, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Christ has all authority but he extends some of it to us as people under his authority. It may appear that there are four commands here, but “make disciples” is the only command here. This happens by us also obeying the three participles: going, baptizing, and teaching.

For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ 9and become one with him.

60. Philippians 3:9b-11 NLT
I no longer count on my own righteousness through obeying the law; rather, I become righteous through faith in Christ. For God's way of making us right with himself depends on faith. 10I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, 11so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!

"The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw" (1:1-2).
Jesus
Angel
“How did the Lord convey the contents of this book to His servant? According to Revelation 1:1–2, the Father gave the revelation to the Son, and the Son shared it with the apostle, using “His angel” as intermediary. Sometimes Christ Himself conveyed information to John (Rev. 1:10ff); sometimes it was an elder (Rev. 7:13); and often it was an angel (Rev. 17:1; 19:9–10). Sometimes a “voice from heaven” told John what to say and do (Rev. 10:4). The book came from God to John, no matter what the various means of communication were; and it was all inspired by the Spirit” (Wiersbe, Be Ready, Bible Exposition Commentary).
