We refer to the Jews as God's chosen people, but never ask,"What were they chosen for? Are they something like teacher's pet with special privileges? Or were they chosen to accomplish something important?" The answer is that they were chosen to be the conduit through which God would bring the Messiah into the world--to provide salvation to the entire world, not just the Jews. They fulfilled that mission through the birth of Jesus, but subsequently failed to recognize it. Now that their primary mission has been completed, they are on an equal playing field with the rest of the world. Accept Christ and be saved, or reject Christ and be lost. No special treatment.
