Gospel of Matthew - Matthew 15:21-39 - Jesus' Compassion and Miracles Toward a Gentile Mother and Daughter and 4000 Hungry Men, Women and Children - Prog 55
Description
Our Lord now travels to the region of Tyre and Sidon way up on the northwest coast where a Canaanite/Syro-Phoenician woman came to Jesus pleading for Him to heal her daughter who was possessed by an unclean spirit, a demon.
But Jesus did not respond to her.
Dr. Mitchell gives us the reason for this.
But, Later, in responding to the woman's faith, Jesus commends her for her faith in Him in spite of the fact that she was not a member of the chosen race, the Jews, being a gentile.
Likewise, the Roman centurion in chapter 8 asked Jesus to heal his servant with just a word and Jesus did. Jesus commended this gentile too for his faith in Him.
Matthew records Jesus' feeding of the 4000 men, as well as women and children. Jesus also had compassion on them.
Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 15:21-39.
