“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mark 2:27). Note it does not state it was made for Jews, Hebrews or Israelites but man inclusive (as in mankind). Matthew 12:8 Jesus declares Himself Lord of the Sabbath. Does that mean He's just Lord of the Jews? Lord of only those who were brought out of Egypt? Or is He Lord of ALL mankind? Is He your Lord?

Jesus was Lord of the Jews...The Jewish Messiah...

Mat_10:5  These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

Rom 15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:

Joh 4:21  Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 
Joh 4:22  Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
  Joh 4:23  But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

The Gentile church was a mystery...Jesus was the Jewish Messiah for his Jewish people...The Laws were written for the Jews...

Rom 3:1  What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?  Rom 3:2  Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 

Eph 2:11  Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 
Eph 2:12  That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
  Eph 2:13  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
  Eph 2:14  For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us
Eph 2:15  Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
  Eph 2:16  And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 
Eph 2:17  And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

Iscool, you can believe whatever you want, okay? My Jesus is the Savior for all of mankind. His sacrifice was for ALL who would believe on Him. He was sent to the Jews because they were supposed to evangelize the world. (They failed). Jesus doesn't characterize Himself as Lord of just the Jews but does say He's the True Vine (John 15). IF you are willing to follow Him you can be grafted onto the vine.
There will not be a section of Heaven just for the Jews over here, the Catholics over there and we stick the Baptists over there in the far corner. No, it's not like that. God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). So those differences won't matter anymore. Only if you are saved.
