There were 28 generations from King David to Jesus. In Acts 13:22 the statement (paraphrased) included ‘…a man after my own heart, he will do everything I want him to do,’ referencing David. As fathers, husbands, leaders in our home and community, a litmus test for our lives is what will the generations after us look like. There are no coincidences with God and there was a plan and purpose that through David, 1000 (+ or -) years later the Son of the King of Kings would be born on this earth to a lowly girl and her carpenter fiancé, whose character, commitment and belief still reflected his ancestor of 28 generations prior. Joseph too did everything that God wanted him to do. Think it doesn’t matter if your taking your kids to church? What will your lineage and legacy say? God says who you are now will be reflected for generations to come.
