Text: Mark 7:24-37
Introduction: Put these in mind as we discuss and answer these questions.
1. Jesus Christ was in a gentile region
2. The woman was Greek and born in Syrian Phoenicia
3. Her daughter was possessed by demon
4. Jesus healed the deaf and mute man by physically touching him.
The above are very instructive as we engage in this study. It will help us come to the realisation that indeed Jesus Christ is King for all nations.
Questions for Discussion
1a. Where was Jesus? 1b. Why do you think where Jesus was at the particular time is significant?
2a. In Israel, dogs were seen as unclean. Why did Jesus address and refer to this woman as dog?
2b. What did Jesus mean when He said "First let the children eat all they want"? (See John 1:11-13).
2c. How did she respond to Jesus?
3a. Jesus commended her for the response. What does this response tell us about the woman's faith? 3b. Faith is sometimes found where we least expect to find it. What does this mean for our evangelism as believers in our present world?.
