How Far back can you trace YOUR family tree?

Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Janna, the son of Joseph, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum, the son of Esli, the son of Naggai, the son of Maath, the son of Mattathiah, the son of Semei, the son of Joseph, the son of Judah, the son of Joannas, the son of Rhesa, the son of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, the son of Neri, the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er, the son of Jose, the son of Eliezer, the son of Jorim, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Simeon, the son of Judah, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonan, the son of Eliakim, the son of Melea, the son of Menan, the son of Mattathah, the son of Nathan, the son of David, the son of Jesse, the son of Obed, the son of Boaz, the son of Salmon, the son of Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, the son of Ram, the son of Hezron, the son of Perez, the son of Judah, the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Shelah, the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan, the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. (Luke 3:23-38 NKJV)

Convicted, not Condemned.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1, 2 NKJV)

This means that those who have accepted Christ will not be separated from Him so long as they live their lives according to Way of Christ. Before Christ or without Christ we only have the Law to live by and violation of the law in any way condemns us to separation from Christ. In Christ we have Grace and are allowed to turn to Him in "repentance" (say I'm sorry to Christ) so that the innocence of Christ might be restored to us. HE is INNOCENT thus when He died on our behalf, He took on himself the condemnation that was due us, setting us free; and restoring the innocence we were created with in The Garden; we are guilty of sin; we are sinners; we all deserve death; He has taken our place (He was executed on our behalf).

He alone is worthy, He alone is Lord.

Praise God that we now, in Christ, have a Way whereby we can spend all eternity with our Awesome Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Pregnant With Jesus

Even as Mary (the mother of Christ) was filled with the Holy Spirit, became pregnant with The Word (Jesus Christ), labored to give birth to The Word and The Word then spread around the Earth, so must it be with each of us to whom life has been granted, if we wish to be partakers of that life with The Word for all eternity.

Invite and allow the Holy Spirit of God to so impregnate you with The Word of God that you will grow in the knowledge of Who He is and thus spread that knowledge around your world of influence to such an extent that not only you , but your entire world is changed.

May I become less that He may become more.
