Matthew 15:21-28

Gospel Message from Pastor William

The Israelites refer to the Canaanite woman as a vicious dog, but Jesus refers to her in a term more like; faithful pet dog longing to be at her master’s side. Though Jesus’ disciples try to dismiss her, the woman demonstrates her belief that Jesus can make a difference in her life, and the life of her demon possessed daughter. Her active confidence (faith) in Jesus was evident to Jesus and it made a difference. How is your confidence in Jesus? Is it active? Is it evident?
