The Contest Between Humility and Entitlement

The Phoenician woman says she and her daughter are not the children of the household, but we I know something about you. And so even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs. She doesn't come to Jesus with any sense of entitlement. It doesn't say, I deserve to be fed. Her humility just is it moves us because this is we have to realize most of us listening to these scriptures aren't Jews by birth. We're not Jews by our history, our pedigree or Gentiles. We're her.
