The Lord Jesus came to present Himself as the King of Isarel and bring in the Kingdom of God promised to Abraham. But the nation of Israel Rejected Him and had Him crucified. During His earthly ministry He tried to reach the Jew. The 4 Gospels a test to that.
John 1:11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
The Lord came for the House of Israel only:
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
And He sent His disciples to the Jew only:
Matthew 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Paul reminds us of the Lord’s earthly ministry:
Romans 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
After The Lord’s ascension into Heaven He called Saul (Paul) on the road to Damascus to go to the Gentiles with the salvation gospel;
Acts 9:1-6 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest, And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
The 4 Gospels contain many truths and we need to be aware of them. But believers need to be spending our study time in Romans to Philemon, the epistles of Paul.
THE LORD JESUS came for the House of Israel. He sent Paul for the gentiles.
