The Paradox of Power....

[Wyrd of Gawd]

But, He found more faith in the gentiles.

Yes the women for example.

In Matthew 15, there is an incident that, at first, seems to confirm the idea that Jesus came only for the Jews. Jesus was traveling through Tyre and Sidon, a Gentile region, and “a Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, ‘Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly’” (Matthew 15:22). This Gentile woman recognized Jesus as the Messiah (“Son of David”), but “Jesus did not answer a word” (verse 23). As the woman kept up her appeals, Jesus finally responded, but His words seemed to hold little hope: “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel” (verse 24). However, the woman did not give up, and Jesus eventually granted her request, based on her “great faith”

Don't forget, Saul showed mercy even though he had been ordered to kill everyone.  God got pissed and kicked him to the curb.  Jesus disobeyed and the same thing happened to him.  God forbids people to think for themselves.  Remember what happened to Cain when he offered plants instead of a bloody sheep carcass.
