2. Matthew 15:21-28 (New Living Translation) Jesus then left Galilee and went north to the region of Tyre and Sidon. [22] A Gentile woman who lived there came to him, pleading, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter has a demon in her, and it is severely tormenting her." [23] But Jesus gave her no reply—not even a word. Then his disciples urged him to send her away. "Tell her to leave," they said. "She is bothering us with all her begging."
3. Matthew 15:21-28 (New Living Translation) [24] Then he said to the woman, "I was sent only to help the people of Israel—God's lost sheep—not the Gentiles." [25] But she came and worshiped him and pleaded again, "Lord, help me!" [26] "It isn't right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs," he said. [27] "Yes, Lord," she replied, "but even dogs are permitted to eat crumbs that fall beneath their master's table."
4. Matthew 15:21-28 (New Living Translation) [28] "Woman," Jesus said to her, "your faith is great. Your request is granted." And her daughter was instantly healed.
5. ● Jesus can be moved by the needs of others…can I? ● Jesus still shows up in out-of-the-ordinary places…with healing on his mind. ● When we give God every reason not to be interested in our lives he bursts in anyway. ● Jesus is good at jumping fences, stepping across barriers and painting outside of the lines.
10. Matthew calls her a Canaanite woman … an archaic term … like calling a Dane a Viking THE DISCIPLES ARE ANNOYED BY HER. AND JESUS IS CLEARLY READY TO MOVE ON BY The Disciples: Send her away because she keeps shouting after us. Jesus: The ‘Silent Treatment’ … “He does not answer her.”
