Genesis 49:2,8-10. Matthew 1:1-17

The Most High reigns over the whole world and over the concourse of created and of uncreated worlds. His reign is recognised by the true of heart who seek to know and do His will according to His loving purpose, and leaders of nations and of peoples are called to know His will for those they are given to protect and lead and to enter into His Kingdom of eternal life and life and love in fellowship with the faithful of all times and peoples.

The beloved and loving Son of the Most High entered in His world in time to be His Word and Love Incarnate and to bring the sons and daughters of His love in His created world to His Presence in time and through eternity: ‘no has ever seen God, but God’s only Son, He who is nearest to the Father’s heart, He has made Him known. (John 1:18’.)
