This Sunday, we will explore Matthew 15:21-28, where Jesus travels to the region of Tyre and Sidon, and a Canaanite woman approaches Him, pleading for help. Her daughter is suffering from a demon, and she asks Jesus to heal her. At first, Jesus doesn't respond to her, and His disciples urge Him to send her away.
Jesus then tells her that He was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. The woman, undeterred, humbly replies, "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." Impressed by her faith, Jesus tells her that her request is granted, and her daughter is healed from that very moment.
This passage highlights the woman's great faith and persistence, and it shows that Jesus' ministry extends beyond Israel, acknowledging the faith of those who believe in Him, regardless of their background.
