Why did Jesus come?

[Dave M]

so often I hear, "Jesus came only for the Jews", what he says does not apply to the gentiles. Well I can not disagree more on this topic. It actually saddens me as to hear people say this.
people who say this,, take one scripture Matthew 15-24 to prove there point. He certainly did go to Israel first.

Matthew 15:24 -- He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
But that did not stop him from going to other non Jews and helping them,, even complementing them on their great faith.

Mark 5:34 --And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.” (not a Jew)

Matthew 8:10 -- When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those who followed him, “Truly, I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. (not a Jew)

Just reading the Bible knowing Jesus is the king of one flock, one group, I have to question why would he come only for the Jews, he is my king, I obey his words ,,don't you ? So when we dive more into scripture we see a bigger picture unfold before our eyes. Jesus came to offer eternal life for all who believe in him. The lost, the sinner, you and me !! It is clear as day to me IMO that John 10-16 is speaking of gentiles.
It is clear as day to me IMO that Luke 19-10 is speaking of all people.


Romans 6:2 --For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Luke 19:10 -- For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.

John 10:16 -- And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.

If Jesus came only for the Jews he can not be our king

If Jesus came only for the Jew we can not partake in eternal life

If Jesus came only for the Jew his sacrifice on the cross is not for us.

SO Jesus did come for us all to be saved, he came for the sinner, .
Now we have to understand that does not happen easily, Jesus came he had several things he had to do in order that we may be granted eternal life. He had to become the perfect sacrifice, he could only become the perfect sacrifice after living the perfect life that is impossible for us to live. He is the only person to ever fulfill the law, making him able to be the perfect Holy sacrifice one time for all people. He fulfilled what the prophets spoke of him.

So it is the Gentile and Jew both require a perfect sacrifice, one that requires the law to be fulfilled in order to have eternal life. Yes the OT points to Jesus as the perfect sacrifice, it seems people think that may be the Jews are the only one who needed Jesus to be the perfect sacrifice, but no we gentiles need it also.

John 3:16-1 -- “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Luke 24:44​

Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”


so my question to those who say Jesus came for the Jew only, is

do you not require a perfect sacrifice for your sins??

I ask This ?
Seeing how Jesus was sent to the house of Isreal, why do people Today try and take what He said for Israel only, to Themselves Today?
If The Apostle Paul was sent to preach to The Gentiles by Christ Jesus, Then why not follow That which He taught to Them, and others who would accept Christ Jesus?
Why then do people Today keep taking what was written TO ISREAL and use That for Today? Why, Why?
To do such is to be an Helper to Satan's false teachings! Think on That.
This is why there are some 34,000 various Denominations is This World Today! That indeed, is confusioon! Who is the Author of confussion?

this applies to everyone does it not?
Matthew 5:28 -- But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.​

Matthew 5:19​

Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

If you love Jesus you will keep his word, this is for everyone,

John 14:15​

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments

John 14:21​

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

seems people who do not want to keep Jesus word may be the ones that claim he was only speaking to a certain group of people. Jesus is my King I love him and want to please him I will do my best to keep his word how about you??

 

[Dave M]

Jesus was either talking to us or he was not, the choice is your !! thank you Jesus​

Matthew 26:28​

For this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
