The Birth of Perez and Zerah
27When the time came for Tamar to give birth, there were twins in her womb. 28And as she was giving birth, one of them put out his hand; so the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it around his wrist. “This one came out first,” she announced. 29But when he pulled his hand back and his brother came out, she said, “You have broken out first!” So he was named Perez.30Then his brother came out with the scarlet thread around his wrist, and he was named Zerah.
God took this ungodly situation and showed mercy!
Matthew 1:3Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar,
Perez the father of Hezron,
and Hezron the father of Ram.
Perez, “You have broken out first!”
If you read Matthew 1 you will see the family tree of Perez and the earthly heritage of Jesus on Joseph’s side.
The Bible is full of examples of mercy, no matter what you’ve done the Lord can use you!
Blessings, David
