Matthew 15:21 - 15:28
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the story of the woman with the demon-possessed daughter from Matthew 15:21-28. He explains that although Judaism was ordained by God, the externalism and traditionalism of the Pharisees gave many people a negative impression of it. Jesus initially ignored the woman, as he had not yet fully rejected Israel, but ultimately healed her daughter due to her faith. Gregg highlights the lesson of how Gentiles can obtain blessings through their faith, even when the Jews neglect them.
