The Christian Manifesto
Alistair Begg joins Michael to discuss his most recent book, The Christian Manifesto, and what we can learn from Jesus’ sermon on the plain.
“I don’t know why God decided that these are His people, but he decided. Even if I don’t understand it, I don’t think it’s justified, I don’t think it’s right. He decided in His ultimate wisdom. He said, ‘These are My people.’ In His ultimate wisdom, He said, ‘I’m going to save David.’
I don’t know why. I’m just thankful that He did. I’m just amazed that God has looked out for these tiny little people that were His people that had been persecuted and murdered and stomped on and killed more than any other people in the world. And we’re standing here 3000 years after that. Moses came down with the tablets and we’re saying we are still here.
So I don’t know why God selected my people. I don’t know what was in His plan, but I do know that God has a plan and what He selected and what He does is going to come out. And I do know that in the end, my people are going to be standing here in this land and playing a role in the final action that’s going to take place. I’m not sure we’re at that stage, but I do know that whenever it does happen, we’re going to be in the center of it. And that’s what God promised.”
