If Jesus was sent for the whole world then why didnt he say it from the Beginning ?

Question

Why say he was only sent for the Jews and ignore everyone else ?

It sounds like he was a Prophet and Messiah sent ONLY for the Jews, just as hundreds of Prophets were sent only to the Jews before him.

If Jesus was being sent for ALL of mankind then he would have said that from the moment he started preaching and would NEVER exclude anyone during his delivery of the message.

Quite obvious......


(Matt 10:5-6)--- Jesus sent out these 12 after giving them instructions: "Don't take the road leading to other nations, and don't enter any Samaritan town. Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
(Matthew 15:24) He (Jesus) replied, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
(Matt 18:11) "For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost."

Answer 1

Jesus was sent to save His people, HIS Sheep. For a time His people were the Jews, now His chosen people are called Christian. Although not nearly everyone who calls themselves Christian are actually saved. The Jews rejected Christ so He went to the Gentiles. It would take forever to fully describe everything but I hope this helps a little.

Answer 2

Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem


The answer is right there in Luke 24:47. Jesus certainly did want His disciples to preach to all nations, but wanted them to begin with Jerusalem, and therefore the Israelites. The Matthew 10 passage is telling them that it's not yet time to preach to the Gentiles and the Samaritans. And the Matthew 15 passage is telling them that He was only sent to the house of Israel, but He was sent for everyone. Isaiah 42:6 says of the Israelites, "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;" (KJV) This explains that God called the Israelites to be a light to the Gentiles (essentially, all non-Israelites). This is why Jesus dealt first with the Israelites alone.

Answer 3

the problem lies in the fact that each gospel was written for a distinct audiance matthew was written for the jews while luke was written for gentiles and if you study history the gospels portray the pharisees as villians but in jesus time ( if he ever existed ) the pharisees were actually a small tribe with aboslutely no power what so ever and the whole thing where jesus is crying and feels like god left him was from the battle of massada it was used to strenghten people after the romans slaughtered them cause look n other gospels jesus wasnt crying in the garden its all allegorical stories and what proof do muslims have that jesus was a real person? i mean the christias can nly provide 2 documents and they are highly suspect and tehy were both wirtten long after jesus (supposed) death so i doubt them and maybe the buddhists are right all religions are a path to god

Answer 4

Friend, you have not studied and understood enough. It was apparent to God that Jesus would be rejected by the Jews, and that this would be the opportunity for the Gentiles to come in. Afterwards the Jews will obtain salvation from God. The Bible says it would not have you to be ignorant concerning this mystery in Romans 11:25 -27

I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. 26And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
"The deliverer will come from Zion;
he will turn godlessness away from Jacob.
27And this is my covenant with them
when I take away their sins."

Be happy friend, Christ came for everyone!

1Cor.15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Cor.15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 15:53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Rev.20:1-6,12,13;
The heavenly for the new heavens, Rev.3:12; Heb.12:22-24; Mark.13:27; John 6:39,40,44; 14:3; 1Thes.4:15-17; The earthly for the new earth 2Pet.3:13; Rev.21:1-5;

Answer 6

Did you know that Samaritan's were jews too? They were of a tribe of Manasseh and Ephraim who never did modify their religion. Which is probably why Jesus said don't bother going there, because they were true followers. Instead, He told them to go to the lost sheep to begin their ministry. And then they were to spread the Word to all corners of the world.

Answer 7

Luke 24

Answer 8

Let's see now, the Bible says:

Genesis 18:18
Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all nations on earth will be blessed through him.

Genesis 22:18
and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."

Genesis 26:4
I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed,

Psalm 72:17
May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as the sun. All nations will be blessed through him, and they will call him blessed.

Isaiah 61:9
Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed."

Malachi 3:12
"Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land," says the LORD Almighty.

Galatians 3:8
The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you."

I love the kind of questions where all I have to do is quote the Bible.

Answer 9

10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13children born not of natural descent,[c] nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. John 1:10-12

Answer 10

What is quite obvious is that He didn't follow your set of rules, but His Father's.
