"And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock [and] one shepherd " (Jhn 10:16). Jesus sent His Apostles "to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Mat 10:6). The "lost sheep" are the Jews who "hear His voice", as the Apostles did and other believing Jews. The "other sheep" are the believing Gentiles, and these two classes make "one fold" and "one new man". Among these there is no difference but there is a difference with the unbelieving Jew. There will be a difference between those who believe in Christ before His return and those who believe in Him after His return, only because they will see Him.

Notice He said of the Gentiles "other sheep", not "lost sheep". The Gentiles weren't of the lost sheep of Israel, they weren't called until the Jews had their oportunity. We are one with the believing Jews, not the unbelieving Jews which will partake of the New Covenant of God in Ezekel's prophecy.

Christian Jews and Gentiles partake now of Christ's New Covenant in His blood'" (Mat 26:28). The covenant of Christ's blood isn't between us and Christ but between Him and the Father, that Christ would save us by His blood, for the Father (Heb 9:12). It's not our covenant but They made us partakers of it!!!!!
