This week, we see Jesus finish His training trip into the Gentile world with the last recorded miracle of this particular journey. Remember, the theme of this training trip that began in Tyre- the grace and mercy of God’s Euangellion is for all the nations of the world. It’s not just for the Jews, but for the Gentiles also. This theme would have been very difficult for the disciples to swallow because they were raised to detest the idol worshipping Gentiles!! But, Jesus is showing them that He is the King/Savior/Messiah for all the nations of the world!
