Devotional Series from Grace & Truth
The genealogy of Jesus includes several unexpected names—Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba—each carrying stories marked by loss, displacement, or brokenness. Yet God chose them. He wove their lives into the lineage of Christ.
Their presence is a declaration that God redeems what others overlook. Christmas is for the outcast as much as the insider, for the weary as much as the strong.
Reflection: Where has God shown His power to redeem the unexpected or overlooked parts of your story?
