Matthew 15:21-28 - A Canaanite woman came to Jesus, pleading for her daughter, who was possessed by a demon. At first, Jesus did not respond, and even when He spoke, He tested her faith. But the woman persisted, saying, “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”
This miracle highlights the power of persistent faith. Jesus, moved by her great faith, healed her daughter instantly, showing that His mercy extends beyond Israel to all who believe in Him.
Jesus’ interaction with the Canaanite woman teaches us about humility, perseverance, and unwavering trust in God. Despite cultural barriers, her faith led to her daughter’s healing.
