Our reading challenge for the day is 1 Chronicles 1-9. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
In this lengthy reading we see that God is concerned about the heritage of his people. He is particularly interested in tracking the genealogy of his chosen one, the line of the Messiah. In the time after the Babylonian exile he provides a record for those who are the line of promise to identify themselves.
In the New Testament we see that all those who look to Jesus in trust are his chosen people. We are identified as the chosen ones of God because of his Son of Promise, Jesus, the Savior of the World. It is not because of who we are. It is because of whom we trust.
