April 26, 2026 - The Genealogy of Jesus: Why?

About this episode

Jobey McGinty discusses the significance of Jesus' genealogy in Luke 3:23-38 and its implications for faith and history.

Luke: To the Least, the Last, & the Lost - Luke 3.23-38 Jobey McGinty We might think that difficult passages in the Bible—like confusing genealogies or apparent contradictions—undermine its reliability. However, Luke’s record of Jesus’ lineage (Luke 3:23–38) proves the opposite. By tracing Christ back to Adam, Luke demonstrates that the gospel is rooted in actual history, not abstract ideas. Genealogies aren't mistakes; they are intentional records showing God working through sinners and outsiders. Jesus entered our broken family lines to redeem them, proving He is both the Son of David and the Son of God. These details exist so you can have "certainty" in what you believe (Luke 1:4).
