Matthew 15:25-28

The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”“Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.

Even the disciples thought this woman was undeserving. She was a cultural outsider — a Canaanite woman making a bold request of a Jewish man. Why should Jesus pay attention to her? Because God’s plan to save involved more than just one nation…

After all, why should you be on the inside?

Because you have a Savior who is for all people. Those who look like you (or don’t!) Those who think like you (or don’t!) And through your willingness to cross over barriers… God continues to break down sinful hearts and bring them into his kingdom… the only group with eternal meaning.

How does knowing that grace is "undeserved love" change how you view who is worthy to know Jesus' love?
