Chuck was, I believe, just making a joke, but behind the wisecrack of my Jewish Christian friend was the thought that he was entitled to natural rights and privileges because of his bloodline. This is an ancient deadly error, and the modern day churchman tends to practice the same sin. Therefore, we should heed the warning of God's law-word. A Chosen People, Not a Chosen Race Racism is not the message of Christmas. Entitlement by blood is a great mistake, because a chosen people are not the same thing as a chosen race.
Bigots are wrong.
The bloodline of the Savior is part of the Christmas story. On the mother of the Lord's side are two Gentile women, Rahab and Ruth. You and I can 't choose our ancestors, but God the Father had the choice to bring his Son into the world as a pure blooded descendant of Abraham. God chose to break the bloodline. I believe it was important to rebuke racists who want to believe that blessings come by race, genes, or blood.
