Week 38 - Exodus 19:1-9

Watch this week’s Video!

Why did God choose Israel?

It sounds so exclusive and unfair to our ears. Shouldn't God care about the whole world? Why would he choose one people? What makes them so special! In this pivotal text, we see why. Connected to the incredible calling Abraham received in Genesis 12, this week's text lays out the identity for Israel—they were chosen precisely because God desired to bless the whole world. It all centers on the remarkable idea that they were, all of them, supposed to be a nation of "priests."

Grace and Peace,
