Five ladies walk into a story

Tamar
Rahab
Ruth
Uriah's wife
Mary

Five very unlikely women are named in the beginning of Matthew's Gospel. We expect to see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Boaz, David, and Solomon. Even Joseph, Mary's husband, doesn't surprise us.

Emmanuel, God with us, does surprise us. May God surprise us again and again this Advent season!
