Bible Question: HOW COULD JESUS BE A DESCENDANT OF DAVID IF HE WAS CONCIEVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT? HE DID NOT HAVE AN EARTHLY FATHER. |
Bible Answer: Jesus being the foster Son of Joseph and the firstborn in the family, became the legal heir to David's throne through Joseph. See Chapter 1 of Matthew. Joseph was a direct descendant of David. He married Mary before Jesus was born and was therefore considered Jesus earthly father. Joseph did exactly as God's angel prepared him to do. |
