We know what Jesus was chosen for but just wondering if you think God chose these people as some sort of favorite.
They were actually chosen to spread the word of God. Nothing more nothing less. God placed responsibility into them which they almost immediately screwed up and have been screwing up since.
Deuteronomy 7:7-9 explains that they weren't special in any way. God simply chose them in His infinite wisdom for reasons we don't understand.
To spread God's word was His desire for them, of which yes, they have failed miserably. This doesn't change their greatest purpose for which they were chosen: to bring Christ into the world through Abraham's lineage.
More of the usual foolish thinking by the Jews themselves, and thanks to their foolishness, as God planned, the rest of us were given the gift of salvation.

Just checking because there are millions of people who think chosen means they are God’s favorites.
