In the Hebrew Scriptures, which are focused on the chosen people, the Jews, we find concern on God's part for other people. The prophet Jonah was sent to warn the Ninevites, who were enemies of Israel, of impending doom unless they repented and turned to the one true God. In the New Testament, there's an example of Cornelius, who was a high-ranking Roman soldier, a non-Jew, who believed in and worshipped the God of the Jews but didn't know about the Messiah's coming and payment for sin. Peter was supernaturally sent to this man to tell him the rest of the story -- in spite of a general Jewish prejudice against Gentiles -- and had to travel some distance to meet with him. |
