Rahab

Every family has that “one member” in their lineage that they don’t like to acknowledge. Maybe they’ve had an infidelity that split the family or perhaps they’ve had a few run-ins with the law, something that might make them a bit of an embarrassment. The story of Rahab is one of those incidences in the lineage of Jesus that perhaps we wish was not there. But it is through her story that we see salvation of the Israelites and the eventual salvation of all humankind.
