The Jewish people are still chosen, but for what?

What does it mean that the Jewish people are ?chosen?? For many, the word evokes confusion, pride, resentment, or even hostility. In Chosen to Proclaim, Avi Snyder clarifies this often-misunderstood idea, showing from Scripture and history that God's irrevocable call upon Israel has always been missional: to be a light to the nations and to proclaim his salvation to the world.

Remarkably, even during times of unbelief, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has used the Jewish people to draw gentiles to himself. And if he can use his people in their unbelief, how much more will he use them once they receive and share the gospel they were created to proclaim? In Chosen to Proclaim, Snyder challenges readers to recognize why the Jewish people are essential for the gospel to reach the ends of the earth.

Avi Snyder currently serves as the European Ambassador of Jews for Jesus.
