Luke 3:29
"the son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmodam, the son of Er,"
Key Reflection
This lineage traces Jesus back through a series of lesser-known figures to highlight the continuity of God's plan across generations. Each name represents a link in the chain of faithful predecessors, showing that the hope and promise of salvation were present long before Jesus was born.
