Episode 41: Why Are The Jews God’s Chosen People?

We help Christians make sense of their roots so they can help the Jewish people make sense of Jesus.

On this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast:

The Jewish people are unique among all the people of the world. It is not that we are better than anyone else, smarter, or more numerous. Our “chosenness” is something that most Jews would like to understand better. I certainly had no clue what being chosen meant. It didn’t always seem like a great deal to be chosen. After all, being Jewish has exacted a price in our history, from the crusades to the pogroms. And even today, in 21st - Century America, we live with the constant awareness of the Holocaust, even though we may not have gone through it ourselves.

In this episode of the Jewish Road Podcast, we explore why are the Jewish people God's chosen people and why did He choose them - all from a Messianic perspective. We talk about how the Abrahamic covenant plays a big role in this eternal relationship between God and His chosen people. We also explore how being part of the redemption story changes everything and gives meaning to being chosen.
