I think the genealogy is very important, because it establishes the gospel connection so beautifully to all those antecedents who wrote of it, and who looked forward to it. Even some of them, like Zorobabel- that most would have forgotten, a king in exile, received a promise, too.. and it was fulfilled. God is the God of history. He has been actively involved in mankind, to redeem it and left no stone unturned, proving to the world who Jesus Christ is, and that the Father was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. This year, at Christmas we read this genealogy aloud because it is that important.
