Isaiah 49:6

[The Lord] says:
"It is too small a thing for you to be my servant
to restore the tribes of Jacob
and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth."

There has never been a time where God questioned what He was going to do with humanity. His plan has never been thwarted, nor has anything ever caused Him to doubt. The Almighty, Sovereign God, who we rebelled against, willed in His heart to save many and call all to His heart.

God is just in everything He does; For the first half of history He decided to use His people, Israel. That God pursued us at all is a statement of His love for us. Just three chapters earlier He makes this promise to Israel, "I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you." (Isaiah 46:4)

But that is not the end of the story; God willed to enter in to human history through His people Israel as the God Man: Jesus Christ. Jesus, born of God through the virgin Mary, lived a righteous and just life; in every way acceptable to the Father God. Then He did what God had planned for thousands of years: He died, crucified on a cross, for our sins. But death could not overtake Him and He rose again on the third day, bringing victory over the powers of sin and death. And here why this is so pertinent to Isaiah chapter 49: Christ died for everyone. Even the Gentiles, who were not the chosen of God through the first half of history. He died that, through the tribes of Jacob and the line of Judah, salvation in Christ Jesus would come to the ends of the earth.

Praise the Lord that He has overcome death and called us to be His sons and daughters for eternity. But it doesn't stop there; just as we can have life through Christ because He used a chosen generation, so we are a chosen generation that God wills to take His message to the ends of the earth. And just as He promised to sustain Israel in Isaiah ch.46, so He promises to sustain us.

Truly, Truly the Lord Loves. Jesus Loves us all.
