Question
I read this verse today and I am very sad. I am sure there is an answer.I know Christ died for me,and I am not a Jew.

Answer
Matt 15:24

24 He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel."
NIV

The Lord's first mission call was to the Jews. But in the course of His ministry, Gentiles were also saved. One example was the samaritan woman at the well and others who heard her testimony....
John 4:39-41

39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did." 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.
NIV

The Apostle Paul turned to the Gentiles when his own people rejected his message..
Acts 18:6
6 But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."
NIV

There is no doubt that the Lord Jesus died for all..
John 3:16

16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
NIV
