Read Matthew 1 today.
It's the one with all the "begats" - iow, it's the linage of Jesus traced by through his earthly father, Joseph.
I found something interesting...
3 of the wives of the men in the lineage are mentioned...
1 was Rehab, who was a prostitute.
1 was not a Jew, but a person from Moab - iow, she was native born citizen from a country that worshiped Chemosh, a particularly violent god who demanded child sacrifice.
1 was Bathsheba, who had bathed on the roof of her house, in full view of the palace (I've always thought that curious), & had the affair with King David.
I think the lesson here is if we yield ourselves to Him, He can use however He chooses. If He can use these 3 ladies, He can use us.
An oversimplification?
Am I missing something here?
Think about it...
