Thank you for this lovely piece. I’ve sometimes said one could do a good Bible study about the women in Christ’s genealogy, and here it is. But there’s another woman, although she’s not mentioned by name: “David begot Solomon by the wife of Uriah.” I suppose she’s not mentioned by name because, unlike the three discussed here, she’s not really an active participant in the story. The whole disaster of David’s adultery and murder is presented as something that happens *to* her, not something she *does.* But her inclusion is an important piece of the story, because it casts Christ’s ancestor David not in terms of his being the great and heroic and wise king but as the repentant sinner who needed the salvation of Christ, his earthly descendant.

This was the most humbling tract to read, showing how very, very far I am from humility and any virtue, and how pride, that horrible evil, creeps in everywhere. To be reminded that we are only saved by God’s grace not our own strength or virtues is humbling. Also I have never thought if any good deeds I do manage to do reflect my belief in God our Saviour and how vital that is.
