Why did God choose Israel (or the Jews)?
Many in my Sunday class yesterday were asking why the Jews are so special, why is Israel so special?
There are many reasons from a Biblical perspective. This morning, as I was reading my Bible, I came across this verse: For how shall it be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Is it not in your going with us, so that we are distinct, I and your people, from every other people on the face of the earth?” (Ex. 33:16)
Here, Moses is asking God to be with them and make the people distinct. I believe God did that and still does that.
