This passage really makes it clear that the Bible is singularly focused on telling the story of Jesus Christ. From the beginning of time until the end, everything is focused on Him. I'm sure that there were many people of faith throughout all time that are never mentioned or heard from the Bible. There are many people of faith with amazing stories testifying to the power of God that never made it into the Bible. There is only one story that ever mattered: the story of Christ.
Reading through the genealogy of Christ is like reading the Cliff Notes version of the Bible. Almost all of the names are familiar as characters from the Old Testament. It's no wonder then why their stories were told. They are the lineage of the savior's human birth. They are the thread of humanity that bore the seed that changed the world. Their stories were chosen to show God's plan all along to bring Christ.
