Isaiah 49:1-18 - "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth."
Matthew 1:1-17 - Matthew begins his Gospel with the very Hebrew tradition of the genealogy. What Matthew is setting up for us is that Jesus does not come out of nowhere. All of the events of the Old Testament have been leading up to this. Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promise to each generation.
