Judah & Tamar

Jul 20, 2014    Brad Snyder    Genesis 38:1-30

Often, texts in the Bible are more risque than we feel comfortable with. This is one of those texts. The author gives us a look into a rather shocking episode filled with sin, death, judgment, incest, and gender oppression. But God shows his grace in that, in the midst of this messy situation, this continues the lineage that would one day lead to the coming of his Son.
