Matthew 15:21-31
Jesus is It: More of What the Kingdom is Like
The story of the Canaanite woman is one that often stretches the modern reader. We wonder why did Jesus call her a dog? Why was that socially acceptable and how should we respond today? Yet the reality is that even though we know Jesus as the hope of the world, as Messiah he was first called to reach the lost sheep of Israel, not just as the fulfillment of the prophecy but as a matter of God’s word and faithfulness. It is that faithfulness and integrity that make the faith of the Canaanite woman and even our faith now so meaningful. It’s because God is faithful that you and I can bank on Jesus as the hope of the world.
