People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 15:24
I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. The
Lord's "personal" mission was to the Jews. Under the first commission
his apostles were directed to go only to the Jews (Matthew 10:6). It
would be impossible to evangelize the Gentiles without setting aside
the Jewish customs, the law of Moses, and arousing the bitterest
prejudice of the Jews. Hence it was the divine plan that the Son should
"keep the law blameless" during his ministry. It was only when the Jews
crucified him that "the handwriting of ordinances was nailed to the
cross" (Colossians 2:14), the "wall of partition" (Ephesians 2:14) between
Jews and Gentiles broken down, and all prepared for the Great
Commission which bade his disciples "go into all the world and preach
the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
