Tamar, Ruth, Rahab and Mary...
actually these 4 women were the ones named but there was another woman mentioned as the mother of Solomon or Uriah's wife... this referring to Bathsheba whose name was not worth mentioning in her own rights as she has done nothing exceptional out of faith... in fact, she was King David's pitfall...
Tamar was mentioned because she did a thing that allowed the continuation of the line of Judah... she lied down with her father-in-law to ensure that she would have a son to continue the lineage...
Ruth was a Midianite woman but she went with her mother-in-law to live with the people she doesn't know. She considered Yahweh as her God and was gifted with a son by Boaz who was to be the grandfather of King David.
Rahab was a prostitute who believed that Yahweh will save her when she helped the Israelite spies escape Jericho.
Mary is of course the mothr of Jesus. The virgin who was prophesied to carry the Saviour in her womb...
All four women showed remarkable faith in God and were instrument in the continuation of the genealogy of Jesus

Four women...
OK her who had been Urias' wife---this is how the lineage mentions Bathsheba...Odd to mention her, because she was an adultress, but she was also mother of Solomon, from whom Christ descended.
Um...Ruth's was a foreigner and she was mentioned. Odd, because she was not a "pure Jew." She was a Gentile, and yet is mentioned because her descendant is King David.
Mary, of course, his mother. Odd because she was an unmarried pregnant teenager.
HA theres the fourth. TAMAR....she pretended to be a prostitute in order to conceive her child.
It's odd by the worlds standards. But our God is a God of grace, and he isn't just for the high and mighty. Jesus is a friend of sinners, he took on human flesh, entered the race that had been infected by sin. He came to take on the sin of man on the cross, and so, free us from sin.
