Many metaphors are used for the nation Israel. One important one to understand is that they are sheep. Christ came to seek and to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel. It is helpful when reading the gospels that we understand that Christ is a Shepherd coming to save his sheep. Christ sought out the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
