The entire genealogy goes down to Jesus’ father Joseph. But if you know the story of Jesus, Joseph is not the biological father. So why is there a genealogy of someone who is not the biological father of Jesus? The answer is: adoption. Pastor Kyle shows how the story of Joseph being the father of Jesus is an adoption story. Even more, the good news of Jesus (known as the “Gospel”) is also an adoption story because when we put our faith in him we are adopted into his family. In this final sermon in the Christmas series, Pastor Kyle talks about this and how it applies to our lives.
Our adoption makes us heirs of God and with Christ.
