The Scandal of the Canaanite Woman

Join Matt LeRoy as he takes listeners through this controversial story involving Jesus and a Canaanite woman. Our story today appears to show Jesus insulting an outsider and comparing her to a dog. What did Jesus mean? Are readers supposed to assume that there are outsiders in God's kingdom, like the original Christians believed? Matt LeRoy gives a thoughtful alternative theory to what is really going on. Might Jesus be using this story to illustrate wrongness in his disciples' hearts and our own hearts today?
