BEGAT | 2005-09-30
You know all those "begats" the New Testament begins with?
You know, "Abraham begat Jacob, Jacob began Isaac..."
Jesus kept talking about "My Father."
Jesus was the son of God.
So you may wonder why the New Testament begins with all those "begats."
Well, Matthew was aware that Jesus was the son of God Almighty.
But, bless his heart, he also wanted to prove that Jesus was descended from somebody IMPORTANT.
