Key Points:
- 15:3-9 Don’t edit the word of God to suit your beliefs. (Follow the one Church that Jesus founded.)
- Jesus came to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. At different moments in our lives, we can be both, and we need Jesus equally in both circumstances.
- Jesus helped the Canaanite (non-Jewish) woman because of her PERSISTENT FAITH.
- He indirectly referred to her as a “dog”, I believe, to show the Apostles the error of their ways in assuming that Jesus came only for the Jews, using an epithet that they, themselves, likely used to describe Gentiles. It was a “teaching moment” that Jesus used, for their benefit.
