To most Gentiles, the binding of salvation to Jewish ethnicity is incredibly offensive, since we Irish (as a personal example) fancy ourselves as the “saviors of civilization.” But so also do the Koreans, the Arabs, and the French—and likewise historically the Romans, Mongols, and Germans. Indeed, it is the divine choice concerning one ethnos that offends every other ethnos. Furthermore, it is the divine choice concerning one man, Jesus of Nazareth, that offends every other human being. Why not me? Why not you? Why not the Irish? Why not the Chinese? Because God chose. The sovereignty of God simply cannot be overruled on this point. -John P. Harrigan
