not end up in more places than what is modern day Israel? Why not go to speak to all peoples and spread the message of God?

A better question would be "why didn't God just speak directly to man" then there could be no doubt in what Jesus preached. To ask us to blindly follow a faith with no evidence of what we are following, is just as absurd as believing in and following my newly made up faith - God-doesn't-existaism.

God determined that the evangelizing the world was the duty of men and women. Jesus had to die, be buried in a tomb and be raised from the dead on the third day in order for there to be a Gospel to preach. The Gospel is the person and work of Jesus Christ, not his travel log. Jesus himself said that he had come to the lost children of Israel. It is only after Israel rejected him as the Messiah that he removed Israel's lamp stand and handed it ti the gentile nations. Israel will be restored, but only after it is evangelized by the gentile nations.

Simply put -God sent down His son in the place that needed help the most. With the help of Christ's 'friends' the word of truth and God has spread all over the world - and that should be enough proof.

The Jews are God's chosen people. He could have chosen Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, Slavs, or whomever He wanted to.
The reason they are called His chosen is because they were chosen as the lineage through which Christ would come into the world and offer salvation. He could have come to any part of the planet He wanted to, but he chose Israel. Not because He loves them any more than He did the rest of the world, but because He knew that it was the best place for it all to start.

Jesus only came to earth to do what He did--His time here was limited. so He told His followers to go into all the world & spread the Good News. See the Great Commission--Mark 16:15-18

The followers of Jesus spread out into the world to tell about Him.

He was born a man, and abided by the rules of that time.
And look at this discussion. He DID speak to all people and spread the message. He knew what He did and where He was was enough.

Jesus didn't come to preach, God can and has used all sorts to spread His word. Jesus came to die in payment of our sins, and it didn't need to be done more than once.
Today the message of God is contained in the Bible, and He would have US go and speak to all peoples to spread it.

Because Israel were God's chosen people where he began to work out his redemptive plan. And the message of the gospel has gone global. God is using his vessels to speak to people. He doesn't do it like you or me because God is spiritual not physical. He uses people to speak to people. And Christianity and the "good news" has now become global and more and more people are coming to Jesus.

God created the world Jesus didnt. Jesus was Gods son and so that was all said because Jesus wouldnt be here if it werent for God because Jesus was created by God out of his own image and it takes faith so just beleive in God and trust everything that he tells you because if you dont you will regret it one day
