When someone wants to interest as many people as possible there is a very fine line that people draw between “self” and “God’s word”. The difference between the two is first of all isn’t God capable of getting people interested? So the difference is between you and God. To get people interested in God then use His word, people WILL be interested. It’s like nothing else! Otherwise if you try to get people interested in you then you have to use the things of this world and it may work for this world. So you have to appeal to this world and if you can’t then it won’t work for this world.
People seem to forget just how powerful God is and how much He loves us! At a time when we weren’t attractive at all He came and became one of us. And a place for animals was not the finest place to be born, but He did it. So whether or not we can attract the most people doesn’t matter. Who got the news that He was born? Shepherds. Were shepherds high and mighty? NO!

So did God want as many people as possible? Yes, but He knew who would accept Him.
