—Matthew 1:1-6
by: Jennifer Lewis Berg.
Rahab’s courage was not her only important role. We see in Matthew the lineage from Abraham to Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. Twenty-eight generations of fathers are mentioned. Only one woman is listed: Rahab, whose legacy was to be the great-grandmother of a great king, David. Rahab did not know about her vital role in God’s great plan for his people, and we probably will not see the long-lasting fruits of our works. But, dare we do any less than Rahab?
