In the spirit of the Christmas season and the celebration of the Incarnation, I would love to offer just a few observations on those most beloved and highly regarded parts of the Bible…

…the GENEALOIGES. (Insert preferred indication of sarcasm here.)

But, in all seriousness, they’re in there for a reason and once we see even a few of the reasons why, we might come to understand and appreciate and celebrate them just as meaningfully as we do the other parts of the Scriptures.
