This broken momma doesn’t stop pressing towards Jesus.
Neither will I.
Will you press on too?
She kept on pursuing Jesus, worshiping Him (Matthew 15:25). She wasn’t worshiping her daughter, mind you. She worshiped Jesus, as she pleaded with Him AGAIN, “Lord, help me!” (Matthew 15:25).
His response was no easier to accept, as He said, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs.”(Matthew 15:26). What on earth? She wants Jesus to heal her daughter, and He responds with a statement that implies that the Israelites are precious like children and she…not only a Gentile, but worse yet, a Canaanite…is like a dog. Gasp! Did he really just say that? And why? Well, there are plenty of ways to interpret this Scripture passage, especially out of context.
