Risen from the dead, Jesus is Lord of Gentiles too

 What made Jesus Christ so relevant to the Gentiles, as light to the Gentiles, not only Jews, was his resurrection. The world has no other teacher risen from the dead as an immortal person. The Gentiles owe allegiance to him, as ultimate human teacher. Lord to Gentile, as much as to the Jew. Now risen, he was able at last to send someone specifically to the Gentiles, to take his revealed good news to them, offering them eternal life without slavery to Mosaic Law. So he chose and sent Paul. Now that this is done, the Book of Revelation now relates to all humanity in its scope, and it is provided for the Lord’s servants both Jew and Gentile.
