Matthew 15: 27 “Yes, Lord,”she said, “but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”

Jesus had been trying to politely ignore the Canaanite woman. He was telling her things she already knew …that He had come to the Jews, not the Gentiles. But she had seen Him heal others and she was determined that He heal her daughter. Undaunted by His rebuke, she replied…My faith in You and what I’ve seen you do is such that I am certain that all my daughter needs is just a crumb of Your healing power, not a loaf, not even a slice, just a crumb! Jesus saw and then reacted to her faith statement by telling her that because of her great faith and resolve her daughter was healed. Whether it’s a crumb or a mustard seed of faith, you too can move mountains, for nothing is impossible.
