... Obed the father of Jesse,  and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife,  Solomon the father of Rehoboam, Rehoboam the father of Abijah... Matthew 1:5-7NIV This is part of the genealogy if Jesus... tucked in the middle of that list is someone who is not in Jesus line at all. Uriah. It was Uriah's wife Bethseba who was Solomon's mum, but Uriah is mentioned. Uriah was discarded by his king - David - but remembered by the King of Kings :) He doesn't forget the ordinary person, who only did what was right, but in this case had his wife, and then his life, taken. Uriah is in the list so that we won't forget him, and a reminder that God will never forget us, the ordinary... Because He Loves. #dearlyloved #theordinary #notforgotten
