Five Women
The grace of God permeates the genealogy of Jesus.
The first woman to appear in Jesus' genealogy was
a woman who refused to be denied by pretending to be
a prostitute. In so during, having a child by Judah, TAMAR
became an ancestorial grandmother of Jesus Christ
The Son of God.
The second woman to appear in his genealogy was a
harlot named RAHAB, also an ancestorial grandmother.
The third woman appeared from Moab, a country
forbidden to worship in God's Temple. Her name was
RUTH, King David's great-grandmother.
The fourth woman to appear was BATHSHEBA, an adulteress
linked to a murder. These all demonstrate to what extent
the God who is Holy will descend to bring us into his
loving arms of care and forgiveness.
The last woman to appear in the genealogy of Jesus
is a virgin named MARY, chosen to be his mother.
