THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 40: The Canaanite Woman |
|
|
The story of the Canaanite woman is out of Jesus’
normal scope of activity since He had instructed the disciples not
to minister to Gentiles at this time and then proceeds to wander off
into Gentile territory. Why would the God-man do such a thing? It
has to do with the omnipotence and omniscience of the Godhead and
their ability to see into the future and know how events will turn
out. Women were considered inferior to men at this time and this
Canaanite woman broke with tradition because she needed a healing
for her daughter. She desperately wanted to meet with Jesus and was
not put off by His rude response. This is why she stated that even
dogs eat the crumbs that fall off the table. She loved her daughter
and did not care if she was humiliated. Jesus marveled at her faith
and persistency and granted her request. The question remains, do
you have faith like the Canaanite woman to insist on a favorable
response? |
