Much of this reading is about the preaching of John the immerser, including the fact that he immersed Jesus. All of this leads up to the family tree of Jesus. It is very different from the one in Matthew, for it goes all the way back to Adam, who was “of God.” Everyone has a genealogy—all the way back to Adam! We learn about our families, history, and roots. We develop our memories from those who came before us, including their hopes, dreams, successes, and failures. In the genealogy of Jesus, we also learn about the many promises that God made and kept while He was preparing the world for the coming of His Son. You can be in a great spiritual genealogy by following Him (Galatians 3:36-29).
