Bible Question (short): Jesus sent only to the House of Israel? |
Question (full): Why did Jesus say that he was for now only sent to the [non-Jewish, but Israelite] House of Israel and why is the new covenant only with a remnant few of them and of the the Jews :- Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Heb 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. |
