Thank you Revd Robert for another heartfelt teaching. I was wondering if you could cover Matt 15:26 in the near future, it is kind of a shocking verse. I would really appreciate some teaching on that interaction Jesus had with the Canaanite woman. Thank you.

Hi Un-silent,

I have added the verses before and after to that the verse in question so that is in context:

21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 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.”

23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”

24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”

25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.

26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”

28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

OK I will do a post for you, but thank you for raising me up to the level of teacher. I will try to do you justice. Take care Robert
