Approaching the Lord Like the Canaanite Woman

About this sermon

Reflecting on the conversation between Jesus and the Canaanite woman in the Gospel of Matthew, the Rev. Dn Dr Vitaly Permiakov calls us to follow her example. We can only be healed of our brokenness by approaching the Lord with humility and a real understanding that we are only saved and made whole by Him. Although it may sound as if the Lord is demeaning the Canaanite woman upon an initial read, in context, we understand that he is engaging her in conversation to teach his disciples a great truth–he is the Messiah come to save people of all nations, and not just a chosen few.
