Episode notes

In Matthew 15 verse 22, a woman of Canaan came out and cried unto him. She acknowledged both his Jewishness and this kind of royal Jewish line. But he doesn't even answer her. He says, no, I'm just to the house of Israel. And that's an important distinction here. We're going to see him interact with any number of Jews or Gentiles.

Who do you say Jesus is? Dr. Kerry Muhlestein explores how God’s covenant path creates a kingdom of priests and priestesses, how humility helps avoid hypocrisy, and how formal covenants change our natures.
