Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: 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. |
