To study Matthew 1 in a group
1. What it says
Besides Mary, which women are named in the list of Jesus' ancestors (vv. 3–6)?
2. What it means
Why does Matthew open his book with a long list that ends with “the Messiah” (vv. 1, 17)?
3. How I live it
Being a righteous man, Joseph did not want to expose Mary publicly (v. 19). How can you treat someone with care when news hurts you?
