What Does Luke 3:31 Mean?
Here the record arrives at the great name. Luke's line descends from David through Nathan, a son born to him in Jerusalem, brother of Solomon.
God had sworn to David that his house and throne would be established forever, and a thousand years of mostly obscure generations did not wear the oath out. Jesus is the son of David by blood and record, not by title only. What God promises, he remembers down all the centuries it takes.
