Son of Abraham• Every Jew was descended from Abraham through
Isaac • God told Abraham that the promises would follow
Isaac’s line (Genesis 17:19) • God promised Abraham that all nations would be
blessed through him (Genesis 12:2, 18:18, 22:18)• Matthew concludes with a call to go to all nations
(Matthew 28:19)• Jesus is the Son of Abraham, the fulfilment of the
promise

Son of David• God made promises to David regarding his
descendants (2 Samuel 7:16)• David’s line had descended into sin and eventually
exile• Though just a stump was left, a new branch would
come (Isaiah 11:1-3)• A great king from David’s line (Matthew 9:27, 12:23,
15:22, 20:30-31, 21:9, 15, 22:42, 45) • Great David’s greater son (Matthew 22:41-46, Psalm
110:1-4)• Jesus is the Son of David, the great King

Son of Mary
• This is a miraculous birth • There are plenty of miraculous births in the bible • Both Matthew and Luke record the virgin birth• This birth marks Jesus as unique • Jesus is the Son of Mary, he stands out against all
of humanity

Son of Man• It’s remarkable that four women are mentioned in
the genealogy • Three were guilty of sexual sins • Three were gentiles • There are evil men listed, though some are omitted • There are many that are otherwise completely
unknown• Even Joseph and Mary would have tainted by scandal • Jesus is the Son or Man, he identifies with sinners
even at his birth

Son of God
• “Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.” (Matthew 1:16)
• There is a distinct change in the narrative • Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit • Satan and the demons knew who he was
(Matthew 4:3, 6, 8:29)• The disciples were convinced (Matthew 14:33,
16:16)

Son of God
• It was said as an insult (Matthew 27:40, 43)• It was obvious to the soldiers (Matthew 27:54)• He had a name with meaning, Jesus - The LORD
saves • He had a unique mission - She will give birth to a
son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins (Matthew 1:21)
• Jesus is the Son of God, who came to do the Father’s work
