Matthew wants to show that Jesus is the rightful king to reign. But he was not a king like any other kings. He was not a king who ruled by force. He was a king who ruled by grace. He is a king of grace. When we examine his genealogy, we see that it is full of grace. The genealogy is not just a bunch of names. Behind every name is a story. Behind each story, there is God’s amazing grace and faithfulness.
