God Uses Broken People...

When you carefully examine the lineage of Jesus, you find an incestual woman, a pagan, a prostitute, and an adulteress. If this isn’t proof that God uses broken people to accomplish His will, then no amount of reading the Bible is going to help change your mind on your confused view on who can and can’t serve God and be recipients of His Grace. We are all sinners. The only thing God requires in order to use you to accomplish His will is a repentant and humble heart. That’s Good News for all of us, isn’t it?

 This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham: 2 Abraham was the father of Isaac.Isaac was the father of Jacob.Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers.3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah (whose mother was Tamar).Perez was the father of Hezron.Hezron was the father of Ram.4 Ram was the father of Amminadab.Amminadab was the father of Nahshon.Nahshon was the father of Salmon.5 Salmon was the father of Boaz (whose mother was Rahab).Boaz was the father of Obed (whose mother was Ruth).Obed was the father of Jesse.6 Jesse was the father of King David.David was the father of Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, the widow of Uriah). Matthew 1:1-6
