The story of Christmas begins long before the birth of Jesus in a humble stable in Bethlehem.

It
begins with God's promise to His people. In the Bible, the book of Matthew tells us about the family
history of Jesus, connecting Him to the great figures of the past.

Matthew tells us that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise to send a Savior a Messiah. Through
His family line, Jesus is connected to two very important people in history: Abraham, the father of
God's people, and David, the king of Israel. Matthew shows us that Jesus was not just any child, but
the long-awaited King . So all the Generations from Abraham to David until the exile to Babylon until
the Christ fourteen generations
