Was Christ sent just to the House of Israel? What does the Bible mean when it says: "He came unto His own, and his own received Him not" (John 1:11)? To what extent did Christ's parables apply just to the House of Israel, and no one else? Why did Christ tell His disciples: "Go not in the way of the Gentiles...."? What did Jesus mean, as he wept over Jerusalem, "Your house is left unto you desolate"?

Richard O. Govier (1928-2018) was a Protestant pastor and missionary and travelled the world in that capacity. He planted a number of churches as well as training pastors who served in Brazil, Chile, Argentina and across the United States.
