Syrophenician Woman, 4,000 Fed (Part 1)
The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg analyzes the story of the Syrophoenician woman who pleaded for Jesus to heal her daughter. Initially, Jesus appeared to ignore her plea, stating that his priority was to the Jews. Despite this, the woman persisted and expressed her faith in Jesus' ability to heal. This pleased Jesus, who proceeded to heal her daughter and feed thousands in her midst. Gregg uses this story to speak about the privilege of the Jews and the potential for people to extend globally whatever their own problem or choice may be.
