Doctrine from Matthew 1

What doctrine do we learn from Matthew 1?
1. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of the family. The family is ordained of God.
2.  The family is the whole point of the gospel.  Our Father in Heaven desires to save His family and to save us as families--the good news of the gospel is that the Atonement of Christ makes that possible.
3. The spiritural blessing of the Atonement of Christ would fulfill the covenant and promise made to Abraham.  Therefore, the promises made to Abraham are also our promises and we can have faith that if the promises made to Abraham will be fulfilled, then the promises made to us will be kept as well. We can have confidence in Jesus Christ.
4. President Russell M. Nelson explains that the Atonement of Christ required a personal sacrifice by an immortal being not subject to death.
5. God can do His amazing work through us, no matter the circumstances, if we turn our lives over to Him in active, trusting, loyal faith. (Taylor Halverson)

Matthew 2 and Luke 2

Matthew 2 1.  What is the ultimate manifestation of God's love?  It can only be the condescension of God--a son born of a mortal woman.  He then allowed that Son to suffer temptations and pain, be judged of the world and slain for the sins of the world.  It is the willingness of God, the Son, Jesus Christ to die for mankind. 2.  What is the meaning of condescension?   It implies voluntary descent, submission, and performing acts which strict justice does not require.  As such Jesus suffered the infirmities that we do so that he could have mercy and compassion for us and of taking upon himself the sins, painds, transgressions, and sicknesses of men in order to satisfy the demands of justice and gain victory over death and redeeming his people. 3.  How do we apply this act of condescension in our lives?  If Christ can condescend to come to the earth, fulfilling the will of the Father and drawing all men unto Him, then I should surely ...
