Jesus critiqued organized religion's hypocrisy, groupthink, and lack of true righteousness. He valued humility, mercy, and seeking God's approval over empty rituals and self-righteousness. True faith involves a personal relationship with God, not just outward conformity, and certainly not relying on a sense of entitlement based on one's group identity.

This article looks at the genealogies of Jesus recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and provides insights into why these two lists of ancestors differs. Matthew and Luke had very different purposes in collating the genealogical history of Jesus. Matthew shows that Jesus has far greater honour and acclaim as Son of God than as son of David. Luke elaborates Jesus’ distinguished lineage: divine, royal, and priestly. The article ends with Paul’s use of genealogies to emphasize that we are all called to be adopted children of God: legally eligible to participate in our Father’s inheritance.
