Overview
Jorim appears in Luke 3:29 as part of Jesus's genealogy, positioned between Eliakim and Elihu in the line of descent. While Scripture provides no biographical details about Jorim himself, his presence in Luke's genealogical record affirms that Jesus came through a complete, legitimate human lineage. This genealogy demonstrates Christ's connection to Israel and fulfills Old Testament messianic promises.
Key Scriptures
"Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli... the son of Jorim, the son of Eliakim..." (Luke 3:23, 29, ESV)
"Thus all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations" (Matthew 1:17, ESV).
Application
Recognize that God works through ordinary, unnamed believers across generations to accomplish His redemptive purposes, encouraging faithfulness in your own generation.
