How Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba got into the genealogy of Jesus Christ

I thought the video was interesting, especially the part about Bathsheba's past not being remembered.
But with the reasoning supplied that they were women who came to faith it would seem Sarah should have been mentioned in Matthew's genealogy.
And I also didn't see why women were mentioned at all.
I am thinking there must be another reason why these 4 were mentioned.

Well Sarah is looked highly by the Jews, much more so than any of the other women in the genealogy. It was just something I saw interesting as I read Matthew 1. I'm gonna upload another video of the 4 women.

The explanation in the 2nd video I really liked.
I think of 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 when I heard that how God uses the weak to put shame the the strong.

Amen! I thought of those verses as well. How awesome is that!
