Reading – Mark 7:24-37
Synopsis
Jesus goes to Tyre from Galilee and the comforts of home and hearth, more than likely to begin a new phase of his ministry to people that good people of God, wanted nothing do with. So what do we do with the fact that Jesus does this and is talking here with a) a gentile (AKA a non-Jew) and b) a woman…and c) a woman who talks back to God? Maybe what we do is just imagine the smile on Jesus’ face when she does!
