Matthew 15:21-28

Listen to Matthew 15:21-28
21 From there Jesus took a trip to Tyre and Sidon.
22 They had hardly arrived when a Canaanite woman came down from the hills and pleaded, "Mercy, Master, Son of David! My daughter is cruelly afflicted by an evil spirit."
23 Jesus ignored her. The disciples came and complained, "Now she's bothering us. Would you please take care of her? She's driving us crazy."
24 Jesus refused, telling them, "I've got my hands full dealing with the lost sheep of Israel."
25 Then the woman came back to Jesus, went to her knees, and begged. "Master, help me."
26 He said, "It's not right to take bread out of children's mouths and throw it to dogs."
27 She was quick: "You're right, Master, but beggar dogs do get scraps from the master's table."
28 Jesus gave in. "Oh, woman, your faith is something else. What you want is what you get!" Right then her daughter became well.

A Story of Two Ladies, Part 1
Tim Kelley

"What is God Like?" is the title of a children's book, as well as a question that most humans have asked themselves at some point in their lives. The problem is people have equated religion as to what God is really like. Religion has often, although not always, failed to bring to its followers a full and correct image of the God they worship. It is often reduced to an outward behavioral practice, missing the heart of the one they are trying to offer.
