We studied Jesus’ encounter with the Phoenician woman wherein he told her he was here to help the Jews, not the dogs (aka gentiles). As Mike Witzig said, she didn’t have the credentials (she wasn’t a Jew) but she had the faith whereas the Jewish Priests had lots of credentials but no faith. Chuck Kinney reminded us that we have no leverage with God; the woman had no leverage and begged for mercy. How many Christians today think they are doing God a favor by believing in him?
