Until the Incarnation it is true that God revealed himself only to the Jews.
They did not fulfill their side of the Covenant.
God inspired many prophets who had very limited success in turning his beloved back to him.
The Gentiles developed many civilizations and cultures that did not know God.
Jesus first preached to the "children" of His Father.
We who try to live a Christian Life in the Post-Christian Culture that dominates the whole world even those parts that have never been Christian are shocked by any form of racial or cultural arrogance when we encounter it.
Nazi Germany's efforts to completely destroy the Jews are so impossibly evil to accept as done by humans that excuses are clutched at by those who cannot accept that all Worldly Evil has been created by mankind.
The descendants of freed African Slaves in the USA are still suffering from the residue of the disgusting segregation that was the "norm" in the "Land of the Free" until only 50 years ago.
Moslem colleagues have never been abashed to look into my face and say "You'll go to Hell, John".
I am upset by Jesus' words to the Sidonian woman just as I am upset by thoughts of the millions of people who have not been guided by IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT.
I remember how upset was St Paul at the thought of his own race's refusal of to accept the love of God. He offered to become "damned" in their place if this would atone for their sin.
I have to thank God for his saving grace and pray that my faith in the New Holy Family can be shared by the whole world of humanity and am sure that if I can be obedient to the revealed loving will of Our Father so can all peoples of the world.
"Blessed are they who observe what is just
Who at all times do what is right."
