RADICAL - The Great Why of God (a blogpst for a sermon based on David Platt's book, "Radical", to be preached on January 25, 2015)

How did the God of the Jews become the God of the entire world?  Why did the nationalistic God of  Israel jump into the affairs of every person on the planet, for that matter, every person who ever lived?  How did the King of the Jews become the Savior of the world?  How did the anointed one become the special one of mankind?  How did the lion of Judah become the lamb of the world?

Why does this God who cares so much for people on the other side of the globe want me to love them as well?  Why can't I just worry about my neighbor next door?  Why?
