In Jesus’ days, there were followers of various religions in Jerusalem, but Jesus never showed interest in them, for the Messiah came only for the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Nothing has changed today. In none of the gospels did Jesus imply that He would create a new religion for the Gentiles, separate from the religion of His ancestors. The Gentile who seeks salvation in Jesus must follow the same laws that the Lord gave to the nation He set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant. The Father sees the faith and courage of this Gentile, despite the challenges. He pours out His love on him, unites him with Israel, and leads him to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 10:5–6
