Video clip taken from main sermon - God only saves sinners, on Matthew 1. Context - It concerns the ancestry or generation of Jesus Christ according to the flesh.
Holy Scripture clearly reveals the dangerous sin of self confidence within the oldest children within a family.
The eldest child within a family tends to be more of a perfectionist and normally more self confident than siblings, for obvious reasons.
This clip really is to help Christian parents understand this truth and to cultivate within their eldest children an attitude of dependance rather than independence. The eldest child normally likes to be a leader but if they are to follow Christ, they must be led by Him and learn to serve by grace.
The Lord Jesus himself sheds light on this, in Luke 22:26 - "but he that is greatest among you, let him be as THE YOUNGER; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
Elder children therefore need to know that it is not enough to just be dutiful, they must be Born Again in Christ and come to saving faith by Grace and not works.
Christs ancestry according to the flesh came mostly from the younger, what the world considers the weaker, which teaches us that God does not look on the outward show of strength...
