Day 19 – Jesus is the True King; Lust is Unrighteousness

Lust leads you to the pit of despair and misery. Created for righteousness...you must embody God's design for you: a life too holy for lust.

2 Samuel 7:12-14 -

“¹² When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³ He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ¹⁴ I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son.”

God prophesied through the Prophet Nathan that there will be a son from David’s line whose throne and kingdom will last forever.

Matthew 1:1-2 – The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. ² Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,

Matthew 1:6 – ⁶ and Jesse the father of David the king. And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah,

Matthew 1:16 – ¹⁶ and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

Matthew’s Gospel traces Jesus’ lineage through Abraham and David to Joseph, His earthly father. Though Joseph was not Jesus’ biological father, Joseph included Jesus in his household, fulfilling the prophecies of a son to be born of Abraham and David, since Joseph was their descendant.
