1 | Who are the lost sheep of israel? | Matt 15:24 | poetlois | 151307 | ||
Who are the lost sheep of israel? I thought we were to spread the word to all non Christians. Matt10 Jesus is talking to deciples but we are susposed to spread the word. Why did Jesus specify not to go to the gentiles or the smarians? but the lost sheep of Isarel? | ||||||
2 | Who are the lost sheep of israel? | Matt 15:24 | kalos | 151308 | ||
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (AMPLIFIED Matthew 10:6) He answered, I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (AMPLIFIED Matthew 15:24) Jesus' 'personal mission prior to his death and resurrection was only to the Jews, God's people. After the Holy Spirit was given, the Gospel would reach Gentiles even in the "farthest parts of the earth" (Ac 1:8), who would be grafted into Israel through the Messiah (Ro 11:16-24)' (Jewish New Testament Commentary, David H. Stern, Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1992). * * * * * * * * * * * * * www.seekfind.org Christian Search Engine The mission of SeekFind.org is to provide God-honoring, Biblically-based, and theologically-sound Christian search engine results in a highly accurate and well-organized format. |

Jesus' 'personal mission prior to his death and resurrection was only to the Jews, God's people. Kalos, just want to point out that although Jesus’ “primary” mission was to the Jews, He did make exceptions: Matthew 8:10-13 (NASB) 10Now when Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, "Truly I say to you, I have not found such great faith with anyone in Israel. 11"I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12but the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." 13And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very moment. Matthew 15:22-28 (NASB) 22And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed." 23But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us." 24But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." 25But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" 26And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." 27But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." 28Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once. He didn’t actively seek out the Gentiles, but did minister to them as scripture shows and thus (for one) points out that ethnic and cultural prejudice must be eliminated in missionary work. The early church, I’m sure, saw this example and followed it. WOS |
