Matthew 15:21–28
Jesus heals a womans daughter in our Gospel reading today. This seems like a normal event for Jesus, yet this woman is a Canaanite, and even Jesus responds by saying He was sent to save the lost sheep of Israel and not her. Her response is bold, and Jesus grants her request not because of who she is, where she was born, or what she had done, but because of her faith. You also are here because of the faith given to you.
