Modern Christianity has turned the word “chosen” into a badge of spiritual status — but in Scripture, it meant something far different.
In this episode, Sergio De Soto, The Counterintuitive Messianic Jew, takes you deep into the Hebraic roots of the word bachar — revealing that to be chosen was never about privilege, but purpose.
From Israel’s covenant calling to Yeshua’s servanthood, this message exposes how centuries of translation, theology, and cultural pride have twisted the meaning of chosenness into personal identity instead of sacred responsibility.
You’ll discover why being chosen is not a crown to wear but a cross to bear — a summons to obedience, humility, and faithfulness in a self-exalting age.
“God does not choose the proud. He chooses those willing to kneel.”
