Jesus Genealogy Joseph

Why does it explain in the Bible the genealogy of Jesus Christ?

In Mt 1:1-17 explains the descendants from Abraham to Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born. But as I understand Jesus has not physical descendant.

There are two genealogies in the New Testament. One is Jesus’ lineage through Joseph, as you point out. The others is Jesus’ lineage through Mary.

The lineage through Mary shows Jesus to be physically descended from the line of David, as is required for the Messiah.

In the 1st century in Jerusalem, one recieved their birthright from their father. Being the son of someone meant you had their authority, their inheritance, and their power. This always came via the father, and never the mother. Thus, Jesus receives from Joseph fatherly and spiritual lineage from David.

It’s worth noting — contrary to one very poorly informed answer — that these genealogies were kept in the Jewish temple. They were of the utmost importance to the Jewish people as they looked for their promised Messiah. Jews everywhere could easily have verified the information in the genealogies, when these accounts were written. When the Jewish temple was destroyed in 70 A.D., (15 to 20 years after the first of these gospels was written) the lineages were destroyed, as well.
