Advent 2022 (Part 1)Matthew 1:1-17// Matthew shows us that, more than entering the story of Israel, Jesus perfected it. Jesus succeeds where Israel fails. Jesus is the true Abraham who leaves a place of comfort to go forth in faith and find a home for his family, so that through him blessing might come into the whole world. He is the true David who fights the true giants of sin, Satan, and death on our behalf, and who will rule and reign with a kingdom that knows no end. Jesus is the one who brings home from our spiritual exile and gives us peace. Jesus is the true and better Abraham, the true and better David, and the true and better Israel. But even more than that, the good news for you is that Jesus is the true and better you. He has lived the perfect life you should have but could never have lived. As a loving substitute, he has died the death your sin deserved. He has victoriously risen from the dead, and as the true Lord and King he will one day return to heal and restore all that is broken and wrong!Ou
