Jesus First objective was to confirm the promises made to the fathers of the old testament.
Romans 15:
4For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
5Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
6That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
7Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
8Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
Jesus ministered to the circumcision
Jesus said, "I have finished the work" He was sent to do which was to confirm the promises made to the fathers
John 17
1These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

Christ gave his message to the Hebrews, first.
Mark_7:27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
However, we must understand that God created mankind, not just the Hebrews and God’s love is for all of mankind. For 1,000 years God saw man become more and more wicked, until God started over with mankind through Noah. Then after 400 years of God watching man grow more and more away from Him, God created a race to show the world what he was like through Abraham. God wanted all men to watch this race to see his attributes. This was also the work of Christ.

This does not mean that Christ isn't our God as well as Israel's. The Lord sent Paul as our personal apostle.
When God created Israel, scripture tells us it for all nations. Isaiah 56:7
"these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations".

Jesus ministered to the circumcision
but when He died, by His shed blood, this act became salvation to the whole world. we are cleans by the blood of ther Lamb of God.
We do not follow commandments; we live by faith through grace, believing in the resurrection of Jesus. being at the right hand of the Father.
we are in a better position than Jews who follow the Law. we are saved by the Grace of God through Christ Jesus.

Important passage for Christians:
Ephesians 2:
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
11Wherefore 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;
12That 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: -------- This is for Jews only.
13But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Christians are saved by the blood of the Lamb of God. Not by the Mosaic Cammandments

Why do you think the Jews sacrificed their most valuable cattle if they thought they were saved by law obedience? They did not know it was a prophecy of Christ to do that, but they knew God required it.
Grace is an attribute of God, grace has always been. When sin entered the world, God's reaction was to give grace through blood given on the altar--in other words it was through the prophecy of Christ.
Psa_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.
Gen_6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Exo_33:17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
Ezr_9:8 And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

Yes God command these things to be done.
Jesus nevr revealed His true identity. because He has to finish the work to confirm the promises made to the Fathers
8Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
they didn't know about the death burial and resurection...........that was the mystery that was revealed after the Fact to Paul.....

The word was for all people to recieves as Jesus told his deciples to spread his gospel to the four corners of the world. Yes Jesus was known to travel and there was a period of his life that is hidden from us to where he actually was where and when for the full time he was with us is not fully documented like a personal diary he only introduced him self to his deciples in person as a young aldult i believe.
It makes you wonder about the mystery that is of God, that we see only darkly. And makes you want to obey everything the Lord tells you to obey, even when we don't understand exactly why.
Would we kill our prize cattle because God told us to even though we weren't told exactly why?
The holiness, the majesty of God makes the Grand Canyon a puny place in comparison.
