Rahab—Fearful (Joshua 2:1-14; Joshua 6:25)
Tamar—Abandoned (Genesis 38:1-7)
And then…

Onan rejected his duty

Shelah too young to fulfill duty

Judah abandoned Tamar and sent her back home “until Shelah
grows up”

Tamar realizes she has been abandoned and decides to deal
with this situation in her own way (Genesis 38:24-30)

Reasons why Rahab should not be included in Jesus family tree:

Woman

Foreigner (Canaanite)

Prostitute

Liar

Traitor
A reason why Rahab might be listed in Jesus family tree:

She is an illustration of God’s grace moving a person from fear of
God to faith in God (Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25)
For personal reflection and action:

Are there times when you have felt abandoned?

Why not accept God’s grace and live as one who has been
adopted into the family of God through the person of Jesus
Deceptive

Are there times you have feared for your life and future?
Manipulative

Why not accept God’s grace and have faith that God will accept
and provide for you regardless of your past

Woman

Foreigner (Canaanite)

Abandoned
