From Joseph and Mary, Jesus’ lineage is listed in Matthew Chapter 1 for Joseph and Luke Chapter 3 for Mary. While Joseph was not Jesus’ natural father, but the earthly father that God gave Jesus for his short life. Jesus is the Son of God and thereby, God is His true Father.
It is interesting that from both lines, Joseph and Mary that Jesus’ lineage was similar. Both Joseph and Mary were descendants of Abraham, Seth, David, Noah and many others as their genealogies were closely related.
God brought those two together, Joseph and Mary, and gave them both faith that she truly was impregnated by the Holy Spirit. The Lord often pointed out things to Joseph and Mary as they were raising the Son of God
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,
saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife:
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. Matthew 1:20
And when they saw Him, they were amazed: and His mother said unto Him,
Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
And He said unto them, How is it that ye sought Me? wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s business?
And they understood not the saying which He spake unto them.
And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth,
and was subject unto them: but His mother kept all these sayings in her heart. Luke 2:48-51
There is a lot to study in the Bible if one were to choose to study Jesus’ lineage.
Nothing with God is by chance.
All is very well planned and thought out and things fit together like a most incredible puzzle.
