I read 1 Peter this morning. Peter was writing to persecuted Jewish Christians. In 1 Pet. 2:9, he said, "But you [Jews] are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people..." That reminded me of something amusing I saw recently:

• How odd
  Of God
  To choose
  The Jews

-- William Norman Ewer

• But not so odd
  As those who choose
  A Jewish God,
  But spurn the Jews

-- Retort attributed to Cecil Browne

• Not odd
  Of God
  The goyim
  Annoyim.

-- Retort attributed to Leo Rosten
