I did a study a while back on the DNA of Jesus in which we studied the genealogy of Christ. I found it fascinating and intriguing. It’s easy to find…simply open up the gospels of Matthew and Luke.

In Matthew’s gospel Jesus is the adopted son of Joseph who comes from the line of David. In Luke’s gospel Jesus is the birthright son of Mary who also comes from the line of David. But here is something of great importance that can only be seen when we combine both gospels. Jesus was the physical son of Mary and He was the adopted son of Joseph…thus He is the King over those who are called by birthright and those that are adopted. He is the king of both those who are by birthright the children of promise and He is king of those who have been grafted in. His very genealogy testifies that He came to save both Jew and Gentile and reconcile the entire world to himself.
