A brief study of this genealogy reveals that Matthew's intentions, while historically accurate, are theological.
Why do Christians proclaim Christ Alone? Alone Jesus can fulfill the promises God has made. He alone is the heir of all of God's promises.
There are 3 stages in Israel's history.
Stage 1 - From Abraham to David The emphasis is on God's promises and its typological fulfillment.
Stage 2 - From David to the exile The emphasis is on man's dominion. Man should have been at his best, but fails over and over. Even the good are not great.
Stage 3 - From the exile to Christ The emphasis is on God's answer to sin.
Conclusion - Jesus is greater than David, Abraham, and even Adam.
