Matthew 15 No matter what position you f

Matthew 15

No matter what position you find yourself in, God has a place for you if you so desire Him.

The Jews despised people who lived in Tyre and Sidon. Jesus had said, “it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you who see miracles but don’t believe.” Matthew 11:22.
The disciples thought they knew who Jesus had time for and it sure wasn’t this woman. “send her away” v23.
As for Jesus he is trying to teach the disciples through experience. He declares, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
He reinstates his position, “Yes disciples she is an outcast, I don’t want her. Will anyone of you disagree with me?” No they didn’t and they failed the test.

“It is not right to take the childrens bread (Israel) and toss it to the dogs”. Jesus is testing again, this time the woman.
Will she see the salvation plan that God ultimately desire to heal all peoples, Jew and Gentile? Or will she fight back at Jesus?
“But even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the masters table.” She got it. She understood what the disciples didn’t. Even as an outcast if she persevered she would get a crumb. And one crumb from the master’s table is all she needed.
