## Notes

- The Genealogy of Jesus is important as it reminds us to consider the birth of this baby Jesus in light of the great Biblical scene and not an isolated incident.
- Jesus is from the line of David.
- Jesus is from the line of Abraham.
- Why Booz, Jeremy, Esaias spelled differently than in the Old Testament?
