Matthew 15:21-28                    August 20, 2023

Old Testament reading for Pentecost 12 is Isaiah 56:1, 6-8. The disciples had been wondering why they were all the way up in Tyre and Sidon. Jesus is about to

demonstrate to them that he is calling people to faith from every tribe, and nation, and people (see Rev 5.) We can still learn more, and we are never done growing into the heart of Jesus. His heart is very large and it has room for everyone, even the folks we find difficult. But he is always teaching his church this lesson. He is here today teaching us today.
