The Lineage of Jesus


Rahab, a prostitute, said God’s miracle of power and deliverance of the Jews from Egypt was so respected in her world that she was inspired to take the side of God against her own people. Holding God in awe, she became a part of the lineage of Jesus. 

Joshua 2:8-11 (NIV) 8 Before the spies lay down for the night, she went up on the roof 9 and said to them, “I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. 10 We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed. 11 When we heard of it, our hearts melted in fear and everyone’s courage failed because of you, for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below.
