In Matthew 15:21-28, a adult woman asks Jesus to heal her miss as well as He says, “It isn’t correct to accept nutrient from the children as well as throw it to the dogs.”(1)
This sounds a flake harsh until nosotros remember:
1. God’s is 100% loving.
Nothing He does is unjust or unkind (1 John 4:8).
2. God is omniscient.
Jesus knew everything almost this adult woman (Hebrews 4:13). He chose His words to examination her faith, as well as she proved her perseverance (James 1:3).
3. Timing is role of God's purposes.
Christ's priority was preparing the Jews as well as then they could accept the Gospel to the Gentiles (Matthew 15:24; Galatians 3:8).(2)
4. Jesus rewards organized faith wherever it's found.
Despite His outset priority to the Jews, on to a greater extent than than 1 occasion He rewarded the organized faith of Gentiles, as well as He healed this woman’s daughter!

(1) The give-and-take Christ used tin endure translated "little dog" or "house pet," as well as then it wasn't a roughshod term, but that lonely doesn't explicate this passage. Jesus nevertheless compared her to a domestic dog as well as the Jews to children. Testing sometimes requires this confusing as well as mysterious element. See "I Didn't Know I Had it inward Me."
(2) In His Great Commission Christ launched God's mission to the whole basis - Matthew 28:18-20.
