Jesus was only sent to the lost sheep of Israel and not to the entire world.

Muslims often cite passages from the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus states that he was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. However, they overlook the broader context of Jesus' mission as depicted in the same Gospel. In Matthew 10:16-20, Jesus instructs his disciples that they will be witnesses to both the Gentiles and local authorities, indicating an outreach beyond Israel. Furthermore, after his resurrection, Jesus commands his disciples to make disciples of all nations in Matthew 28:18-20, explicitly stating that his message is for everyone. This is further supported by Mark 16:15-16, where Jesus instructs his followers to preach the gospel to all creation, reinforcing the idea that salvation through Christ is available to all people, not just the Jews. Lastly, Matthew 24:14 proclaims that the gospel will be preached throughout the whole world, confirming the universal scope of Jesus' mission.
