Meditacion:
¿Cuál es tu historia? ¡Descubre tus raíces! ¡Reclama tu herencia! Tal vez has visto anuncios similares sobre exámenes que se basan en el ADN para encontrar a tus antepasados. Es fácil darse cuenta por qué estos exámenes están ganando popularidad: queremos saber de dónde venimos y de quién descendemos. Es fascinante ver cómo nuestra historia se relaciona con eventos históricos. También es emocionante ver si tu ADN revela alguna trama o relaciona figuras históricas contigo de una forma que nunca imaginaste.
Si vamos a abordar la lectura del Evangelio de hoy de esta manera, lo que primero parecía una larga y aburrida lista de nombres puede convertirse en una intrigante búsqueda de un tesoro. ¡Estas personas, todas ellas, son parte de tus ancestros espirituales! Su ADN vive en ti y puede revelar secretos hace mucho tiempo olvidados de tu herencia.
El Evangelio nos presenta el árbol genealógico de Jesús. Probablemente no estés relacionado con estos hombres y mujeres, pero eso no cambia nada. Recuerda que tú has sido injertado en el Cuerpo de Cristo, que él es tu Hermano y ahora tú eres parte de su familia. Eso significa que su pasado también es tu pasado.
Entonces, ¿qué es lo que Mateo revela sobre tu herencia?
Primero, tú tienes una herencia de fe. Algunos nombres son familiares: Abraham, Jacob, José, María. Es posible que recuerdes algunas historias y te maravilles de la oposición que soportaron para mantenerse fieles a Dios. Podrías querer celebrar su vida así como atesoras memorias de tus abuelos; o el hecho de que su fe fluye en ti, ellos pueden enseñarte a creer y confiar en Dios.
Segundo, tienes una herencia de misericordia. Al igual que el árbol de la familia, este tiene algunas sorpresas. Piensa en Rahab, la “mujer de la noche” que se convirtió a la fe y así fue antepasada de Jesús. O en Rut, la extranjera inesperada. Incluso el rey David tuvo una historia accidentada. La misericordia de Dios es suficientemente grande como para cubrirlos a todos ellos. Y es lo suficientemente grande como para cubrirte a ti.
Desde luego, la historia no termina contigo. Continúa desarrollándose en la vida de tus hijos y en las personas que tú impactas. ¡Es una herencia de gracia sin fin!
“Señor Jesús, gracias por hacerme formar parte de la familia de Dios.”

What's your story? Discover your roots! Claim your inheritance! You may have seen similar advertisements for tests that use DNA to find your ancestors. It's easy to see why these tests are gaining popularity: we want to know where we come from and who we are descended from. It is fascinating to see how our history relates to historical events. It's also exciting to see if your DNA reveals any plots or relates historical figures to you in a way you never imagined.
If we are to approach today's Gospel reading in this way, what seemed like a long and boring list of names at first can turn into an intriguing treasure hunt. These people, all of them, are part of your spiritual ancestors! Their DNA lives in you and can reveal long-forgotten secrets of your heritage.
The Gospel presents us with the genealogical tree of Jesus. You are probably not related to these men and women, but that doesn't change anything. Remember that you have been grafted into the Body of Christ, that he is your Brother and now you are part of his family. That means his past is also your past.
So what does Matthew reveal about your heritage?
First, you have a heritage of faith. Some names are familiar: Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Mary. You may remember some stories and marvel at the opposition they endured to stay true to God. You may want to celebrate their life as well as treasure memories of your grandparents; or the fact that their faith flows into you, they can teach you to believe and trust God.
Second, you have an inheritance of mercy. Like the family tree, this one has some surprises. Think of Rahab, the "woman of the night" who was converted to the faith and thus was the ancestor of Jesus. Or in Ruth, the unexpected stranger. Even King David had a checkered history. God's mercy is great enough to cover all of them. And it's big enough to cover you.
Of course, the story doesn't end with you. Continue to develop in the lives of your children and in the people you impact. It is an inheritance of endless grace!
"Lord Jesus, thank you for making me part of the family of God."
