42nd Generation

Andrew Shearman’s “The 42nd Generation” delivers a profound message that still resonates, having first encountered it in Brownsville, Texas, 14 years ago. This message reveals a generation destined to rediscover faith, drawing parallels to Adam’s loss and God’s restorative plan. In Matthew 1, a genealogy from Abraham to Christ discloses Jesus the Christ as the 42nd generation, chosen to reclaim the Promised Land of faith. This revelation encourages alignment with the 42nd generation, signifying Christ’s arrival through the number 42. The mystery shrouds the missing generation, encompassing us as the body of Christ. It awakens as Christ takes full form within us, surpassing basic faith. This message ignites a longing to transcend simplistic faith. We labor, preach, and live it, aspiring to witness the emergence of a generation destined to reclaim the Promised Land of faith and purpose. “The 42nd Generation” isn’t merely a numeric label but a profound concept that resounds in our faith journey. Its significance lies not in numbers but in the transformative message it imparts, urging us to rediscover faith, embrace spiritual growth, and find a deeper sense of purpose.
