Word: Luke (Genealogy)

Boring or Exciting?

I've written that I started this project because the Bible has always seemed boring to me. However, that's not entirely true. When I was younger there were a couple things in the Bible that, although boring to most, really intrigued me—the maps at the back and the genealogies of Jesus in Matthew and Luke.

There was always something cool about those genealogies. They seemed like much more than just a list of dads. Through his genealogy, Luke covers the entire human history up to that point, presents Jesus as having divine ancestry but also reveals him to be just another dude with a dad. All in a single chapter. That is some impressive communication.

How about you? Are there "boring-to-most-people" parts of the Bible that you really like?
