Send us Fan MailWelcome to the Gospel Series- The Miracles of Jesus:   www.wordinspire.orgMiracle: “The Daughter of the Canaanite Woman”Reference: Matthew 15:21-28; Mark 7:24-30 Theme: Bottom line, God honors faith and responds to people who don’t give up and keep believing Context: Jesus and His disciples were in northern Israel; in the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon Matthew 15:21-28 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.” Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs.” “Yes, Lord,” she said, “but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.  Support the show
