Matt 15:22 And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed." Matt 15:23 But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us." Matt 15:24 But He answered and said, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Matt 15:25 But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" Matt 15:26 And He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs." Matt 15:27 But she said, "Yes, Lord; but even the dogs feed on the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." Matt 15:28 Then Jesus said to her, "O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed at once. I can only assume you're contrasting this rather interesting attitude from Jesus when most of the time, he was far more compassionate and merciful, especially to His fellow Jews. I can only say that Jesus knew the hearts of all people and He knew exactly what they needed most. In this case, apparently the woman needed to know her place in the world and she acknowledged that AND got what she was looking for. In contrast to this story is the rich young ruler who came to Jesus boasting of his devotion to God and following His guidance all his life. But when Jesus said "sell your possessions, come and follow me," once again Jesus knew exactly what this man needed but in this case, he didn't get what he was looking for...AND he was a Jew. What do you think of this interesting and rather challenging attitude of Jesus? Blessings to you. Country Girl |
