What Does Matthew 1:10 Mean?
Manasseh's long reign was remembered for great evil, yet the Scriptures also record his humbling and turning back to God late in life. The line then reaches Josiah, a young king who rediscovered the law and led the people in repentance.
Even the darkest chapter could not break the chain. That the Messiah's lineage runs straight through Manasseh testifies that there is no sinner beyond the reach of mercy and no failure that can finally thwart God's saving purpose.
