Bible Texts:
Matthew

go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew

I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye
therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Matthew
15:24 KJV
But
He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the
house of Israel.
Matthew
26:31 KJV
Then
saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of Me this
night: for it is written, I will smite The Shepherd, and the sheep
of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
In the above verses, our Lord, was referring to the Jewish people.
Isaiah

The Sovereign Lord, who brings back the outcasts of Israel, says:
I
will bring others, too, besides My people Israel.”

And
other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must
bring, and they shall hear My voice; and there shall be one fold, and
one Shepherd.
John
10:16 ERV
I
have other sheep too. They are not in this flock here. I must lead
them also. They will listen to My voice. In the future there will be
one flock and one Shepherd
John
10:16 GNT
There
are other sheep which belong to Me that are not
in this sheep pen. I must bring them, too; they will listen to My
voice, and they will become one flock with one Shepherd.
The word “other,” here used by our Lord, refers to the
Gentiles.
Ephesians
2:11,12 NLT
11
Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were
called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of
their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not
their hearts.
12
In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded
from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the
covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world
without God and without hope.
Galatians
3:26-29 NLT
26
For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27
And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on
Christ, like putting on new clothes.
28
There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female.
For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29
And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of
Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham
belongs to you.
Colossians
3:10,11 NLT
10
Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your
Creator and become like Him.
11
In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a
Gentile,circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave,
or free. Christ is all that matters, and He lives in all of us.
Prayer:

28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto
your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy, and My
burden is light.
Mark 16:16 KJV

shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
