Authenticate the identity of Jesus

Verse: Luke 3:23-38 

When a person applying for a job then he will attach the files to complete the letter that her application. For example, curriculum vitae, diploma, certificate of good character, and others. Curriculum vitae is certainly related to the self in question only. It was not any institution where people applying for jobs, which request a resume that is equipped with a family pedigree that person. 


Genealogy of Jesus contains seventy-six offspring and each name is written clearly. Genealogy is really long. A unique, Luke started the genealogy of Jesus with Jesus' statement that when it will start the work, and at that time he was about 30 years. Why is that? When we re-read the previous passage, there is written the events which accompanied the recognition of the baptism of Jesus God the Father that He is the Son of God (Luke 3:21). While the genealogy of Jesus ends with the sentence "... son of Adam, the son of God" (38). Here we see that the genealogy of Jesus that was made by Luke as a reference to confirm the story of what happened in the previous passage. Thus the identity of Jesus as the Son of God no doubt. With a description of the authenticity (genuineness) the identity of Jesus before He began His work, though the Gospel of Luke as the author wants readers to understand the wonders of the works of Jesus and the power which He revealed through the work. 


Presumably understanding of the genuineness of the identity of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, bringing us to read and reflect on the Gospel of Luke in the following days so that we increasingly believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, who rule over humans, the universe, disease, death, and the powers Another who tried to undermine the life of mankind. We need not doubt who He is and how to put him in our lives. Presumably this understanding helps us also to give all the space in our lives to Him mastered. 


God Bless ^ ^
