As we began the Book of Matthew we realized how difficult it was for Matthew to make a case for Jesus being both a child of God and the descendant of King David. Jesus was essentially adopted by Joseph, who's lineage reached back to King David, but was actually the son of God. Only 180,000 Jews call themselves Christians but there are over 2 billion non-Jewish Christians in the world to whom the lineage to David perhaps isn't very important.
