Why did Jesus say that He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel? | GotQuestions.org

Jesus’s words sound like a rejection, in Matthew 15:24, as Jesus tells a desperate Canaanite woman He was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Yet moments later, He performs the healing. This was not a dismissal of Gentiles, but a profound test of the woman’s faith and a critical fulfillment of prophecy. Understanding His true purpose here explains the priorities of Christ’s ministry, what He meant when He said salvation is of the Jews, and how the Jewish Messiah is also the Savior of all who will believe. In this video, Pastor Nelson answers your question: Why did Jesus say that He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel in Matthew 15:24?
