What Does Matthew 1:14 Mean?
The genealogy moves through another set of otherwise unknown forebears. These were ordinary people, living through the rise and fall of empires, awaiting a promise their ancestors had been given long before.
Their hidden faithfulness is part of the story too. God's great works often rest on generations of quiet waiting, and the line that would bring forth the Savior was preserved in the patience of people history did not record.
