Dr. Jose Nacionales opens the Book of Matthew by showing how Jesus Christ was introduced to Israel as the promised Messiah. He carefully traces the genealogy of Christ, connecting Him to Abraham, David, and the covenant promises of God. With his teaching style that moves verse by verse, Dr. Jose explains how the prophecy of the Messiah began with Adam and Eve and became more specific through the nation of Israel, the tribe of Judah, and the line of David. This sermon reminds believers that God’s plan of redemption was never accidental—it was prepared from the very beginning.
