Forster & Marston write, “We share in both the position of Christ beside God and the chosenness of Christ by God. God said of Christ: this is my son, my chosen, hear you him. Elsewhere Christ is said to be the servant whom God has chosen. The chosenness of Christ has, of course, nothing to do with going to heaven or to hell. He is not chosen to go to heaven but to be God’s servant. Gods ‘suffering servant’ for the redemption of the peoples. There were not, moreover, a great number of others whom God could equally well have chosen to fulfill the office of suffering servant. Jesus was unique, and was also the chosen or choice one of God in the sense of being closest to the heart of the Father.” Forster, Roger T., and V. Paul Marston. God’s Strategy in Human History.
