## Resource

This episode explores Jesus' encounter with the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15, showing how his words and actions transform the biblical image of "dogs"—the cursed and excluded—into recipients of God’s mercy. The sermon traces Old Testament precedents, the woman’s faith, and Jesus’ willingness to humble himself and extend sacred space to the Gentiles. It connects that story to the cross, explaining how Christ became a curse and gave His body and blood so that sinners can be adopted as children of God, receive the master’s table, and live out their calling to pray for and serve their neighbors.
