It's Not for Today or It is For Today

Jesus was preaching the "Kingdom Message to the lost sheep
of Israel. Whereas, Paul was preaching the "Grace Message"
to the gentiles.

The Kingdom message still holds true with Christ and with Paul. What is the difference.

Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

John 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

1 Corinthians 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

Also when has it ever not been about the Grace of God?

Israel never followed God completely. Noah drank, Moses did not listen to God. David murdered someone. But they all had faith and by the Grace of God they will be saved.

Gensis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD

Psalms 84:11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Jesus did want his country men to realize what their mission would be. There is an advantage to them working in the mission (Rom 11) unless they are opposed to it, of course! So even Paul went to Jews first and then Gentiles.
