After all, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising that David had many descendants\u2014especially if you go through Solomon who had access to a thousand women.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus, out of all David\u2019s descendants was born of God (Matt 1:18). That is, not some matter of genetic lineage,\u00a0 but born at exactly when God wanted him to be born (Gal 4:4), sent from the very throne room of heaven (John 1) and born of a woman without the aid of man. His birth was heralded by angels (Luke 1:26-38) and expected by Israel as sung by Mary (Luke 1:46-55). Even his enemies would acknowledge that he is a King, even if they\u2019re being ironic (John 19:19) but more so when they witness his death: <em>surely<\/em>, says one of the soldiers, <em>this was the Son of God <\/em>(Matt 27:54).<\/p>\n<p>So we can\u2019t see Jesus as coincidentally filling a role because he has the right lineage: it\u2019s not possible. God was altogether involved in his inheritance and authority.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus was born to be King.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We know the stories.
