How does Christ identify with humanity in His genealogy?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's genealogy reflects His true humanity and serves to connect Him with sinners.

In His genealogy, Christ’s lineage is marked by names that represent flawed human beings, reflecting the reality of human sin. By including individuals with scandalous histories, such as Tamar and Rahab, Christ shows that He is intimately connected with our humanity and the struggles we face. His choice to be born into such a family signifies His mission to seek and save the lost. Furthermore, this genealogy reminds believers that Christ came not just for the righteous but for sinners, offering them redemption and hope through His sacrificial love.
