Learning God's Grace from Christ's Lineage

God's grace and mercy can be seen in the lineage of Christ. Although is was unusual for genealogies to list women, four are listed in Matthew. In that list are 3 gentiles and a 4th is identified by her gentile husband. One acted as a temple prostitute to get an heir, one was a prostitute, one was from an immoral people, and the other was identified by her husband that David killed. All had significant problems, yet God, in his grace, used them to bring His Son to be the Messiah.
