As we know, there are two genealogies in the Gospels. One is Matthew, who was writing to Jews, who traces the legal lineage of Jesus(or Jospeh, depending on your interpretation) and goes all the way back to Abraham because that's what Jews would primarily focus on, and the other is Luke, who was writing to gentiles, who traces Jesus(or Joseph)'s biological lineage all the way back to Adam because that's what they would care about most. The reason for two genealogies is because there were a number of fairly common scenarios in ancient Israel which could result in a man becoming the biological son of one man while also being the legal son of another(i.e. Levirate marriages, the man's father-in-law having no sons of his own, etc.) But what I'm wondering is if there's some symbolism in this. Like maybe, in addition to being the biological sons of Adam, we Christians are now also the legal descendants or heirs of Abraham through Christ, even though many of us aren't descended from him biologically. I admit this is kind of half-baked but I just wanted to see what you guys thought.
