What Does “Healing Is the Children’s Bread” Mean?

Are you holding to your Kingdom assignment? In this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Darrell Puckett discuss the meaning of the phrase, “healing is the children’s bread,” which comes from the story of the Greek woman in Mark 7:26-28 asking for her child’s healing. Without understanding cultural context, Jesus’ response to her seems quite offensive (and we don’t know his tone or if his manner was playful), but Jesus’ intention was not to demean her; it was a matter of order and honor for His assignment from the Father. Jesus’ earthly ministry was to the Jewish people first. Yet the woman’s humility moved Him, and He did heal her child. His heart and plan, of course, is for all people, and after He ascended, He commissioned His Jewish disciples to take the gospel to the nations–and they did! Join Rabbi and Darrell as they share the power of knowing your assignment out of honor for God and His authority above the will of others, the biblical concept of bread, and God’s heart to heal and sustain His people.
