The New Testament was written in Greek. We use some Greek words in English—like galaxy, acrobat, and dinosaur. Dinosaur is made from two Greek words: denios (which mean “terrible”) and savra (which means “lizard”). A dinosaur is a terrible lizard! Guess what is the second word in the New Testament. In Greek, it’s the word genesis. In English, it’s “genealogy.” Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Matthew used that word to remind us that when Jesus was born, there was a new beginning—a new genesis! This new genesis in Jesus is an invitation to us to enjoy a new life. If we trust him as our Savior, he gives us a new heart and a new start. Ask yourself today, “Do I have sins that need to be forgiven?” The answer is yes! Then ask yourself, “Who can forgive me?” The answer is Jesus! Remember what his name means? It means “Yahweh saves.” Remember what he did on the cross? He saved “his people from their sins” (1:21). He can save you too! Trust in him today and experience your new genesis.
