Bible Note: Meredith, As you mentioned, the faith of the woman of Canaan, was great. And notice that she was an outsider. But she didn't let that stop her from coming to Jesus. Her faith brought healing to her daughter. Here is another example of an outsider with faith: Luke 4 27And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian." “…but only the Syrian; for none besides had faith to apply himself to the prophet for a cure. Christ himself often met with greater faith among Gentiles than in Israel. And here he mentions both these instances, to show that he did not dispense the favour of his miracles by private respect, but according to God's wise appointment.” http://www.gospelcom.net/eword/comments/luke/mh/luke4.htm It is bad when outsiders can come to God and trust Him more than those of us that attend every church service, while being fearful and unbelieving about everything that God wants to do in our lives.
