Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:1-3, Matthew 1:1
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
“I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.” ~ Genesis 12:1-3
This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham: ~ Matthew 1:1
