     Did Yeshua come only for the Hebrews and not the Gentiles?

Yeshua is the Messiah that the Hebrew had been anticipating for centuries (see Luke 2:25; 3:15). As such, He was born into a Hebrew family and was reared according to Hebrew law in a Hebrew town (see Luke 2:27; Galatians 4:4). Yeshua selected disciples, spoke in Hebrew synagogues and the Hebrew temple, and traveled mostly in Hebrew areas. His mission, in fulfillment of the Hebrew prophets, was to the Hebrew people. However, none of this means that Yeshua's ministry was limited exclusively to the Hebrews. 

The Biblical Israelites had no concept of religious conversion because the notion of a religion as separate from a nationality was incoherent. The words “Jews” and “Judaism” did not exist. Abraham was called an ivri, a Hebrew, and his descendants were known either as Hebrews, Israelites (the children of Israel). These words are nationalistic terms that also imply the worship of the God of Abraham.

The Israelites were a confederation of Iron Age Semitic-Hebrew speaking tribes of the ancient Near East Africa, who inhabited a part of Canaan during the tribal and monarchic periods. According to the religious narrative of the Hebrew Bible, the Israelites' origin is traced back to the Biblical patriarchs and matriarchs Abraham and his wife Sarah, through their son Isaac and his wife Rebecca, and their son Jacob who was later called Israel, whence they derive their name, with his wives Leah and Rachel and the handmaids Zilpa and Bilhah.

In Jeremiah 50:6, God calls Israel His people and “lost sheep.” The Messiah, spoken of throughout the Old Testament, was seen as the one who would gather these “lost sheep” (Ezekiel 34:23-24; Micah 5:4-5). When Jesus presented Himself as a shepherd to Israel, He was claiming to be the fulfillment of Messianic prophecy (Mark 6:34, 14:27; John 10:11-16; see also Hebrews 13:20; 1 Peter 5:4; and Revelation 7:17).

Yeshua is the Messiah that the Hebrews had been anticipating for centuries (see Luke 2:25; 3:15). As such, He was born into a Hebrew family and was reared according to Hebrew law in a Hebrew town (see Luke 2:27; Galatians 4:4). Jesus selected Hebrew disciples, spoke in Hebrew synagogues and the Hebrew temple, and traveled mostly in Hebrew areas. His mission, in fulfillment of the Hebrew prophets, was to the Hebrew people.

Jesus’ words to the Canaanite woman also show an awareness of Israel’s place in God’s plan of salvation. God revealed through Moses that the children of Israel were “a holy people to the LORD . . . chosen . . . a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth” (Deuteronomy 7:6). It was through the Jews that God issued His Law, preserved His Word, and sent His Son. This is why, elsewhere, Jesus tells a Samaritan that “salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22). In Matthew 15, when the Jewish Messiah says that He was sent to “the house of Israel,” He is simply connecting His presence with God’s purpose in Old Testament history. Christ was “born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law” (Galatians 4:4-5).

In Matthew 15, there is an incident that, at first, seems to confirm the idea that Jesus came only for the Hebrews. Jesus was traveling through Tyre and Sidon, a Gentile region, and “a Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, ‘Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly’” (Matthew 15:22). This Gentile woman recognized Jesus as the Messiah (“Son of David”), but “Jesus did not answer a word” (verse 23). As the woman kept up her appeals, Jesus finally responded, but His words seemed to hold little hope: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel” (verse 24). However, the woman did not give up, and Jesus eventually granted her request, based on her “great faith” (verse 28).

   Matthew 15:22-28 King James Version (KJV)
  22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried      unto him, saying,   Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter    is grievously vexed with a devil.

  23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him,   saying, Send her  away; for she crieth after us.

  24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the     house of Israel.

  25 Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.

  26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread,     and to cast it to dogs.

  27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall       from their masters' table.

  28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be     it unto thee even as       thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that     very hour.

Every ministry must have priorities, and Christ’s ministry was no exception. When Jesus sent His disciples to preach the good news of the kingdom, He expressly told them, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 10:5-6). Jesus did not forbid their preaching to all Gentiles; He did, however, narrow their focus to the areas which should be most receptive—those who knew the Law and were expecting the Messiah. Paul, in his missionary journeys, followed the same priority of preaching to the Jews first (Romans 1:16).

   John 12:47 " And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him       not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world."

Maybe Yeshua came to save all of us.. but he came to SHOW us how to live if he  just came for our salvation there would of been no need for his ministry.

Yeshua was not a Christian,he came to live his life like all of us ,and he chose to start his organization to teach and change the Hebrews. As a leader of the organization he took all the blame for the accusations and was punished.We are all the creation of God, and God did not need to use a third party to communicate with us .He has the power to communicate with everyone of us . But some people think they are better or favorites of God . NO, NO

The early Christians saw their mission as global in scope, but during his earthly ministry, Yeshua explicitly declared his mission to be focused only on Israel The Gospels reveal a Yeshua focused on Israel. In fact, his ministry appears to be focused so relentlessly on the Hebrew people that many scholars have debated whether Jesus was concerned with outsiders at all. When taking into consideration the nations-focused mission of the early church as directed by the risen Yeshua that was so prominent in Christian thinking, it is striking to discover that this global impulse appears to be absent from Yeshua’ earthly ministry.

It is interesting to note the parallel between the global vision of the risen Yeshua as manifested in the actions of the early church and the nationalistic vision of Yeshua’ earthly ministry as manifested in the disciples’ avoidance of Gentile towns in favor of “the lost sheep of Israel”

Regardless of how one interprets the evangelists’ different accounts of the same event, it is clear that Yeshua’ focus was on reforming Israel, not bringing his kingdom message to the rest of the world. His focus on Israel can be seen in his prophecies and pronouncements of judgment on the nation. Through symbolic, prophetic actions like cursing the fig tree (Mark 11:12-14, 20-25; Matt 21:18-22) and cleansing the temple (Mark 11:15-19; Matt 21:12-17; Luke 19:45-48, John 2:13-16), as well as strong prophetic denunciations (Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21, 13:6-9), Yeshua made his particular focus on Israel clear.

If Yeshua saw himself as Israel’s Messiah, the one who will constitute a new Israel, and if he purposefully acted in ways that fulfill the role of the Suffering Servant in Isaiah and the vocation of Israel as the light of the world, then it is no surprise that he would focus his ministry squarely on his Hebrew contemporaries.
