## Resource

At first glance, Jesus’ words to the Canaanite woman in Matthew 15 seem shockingly harsh. Why would Jesus respond this way to a desperate mother begging for her daughter’s healing? Dr. Sri explores the first-century Jewish context, the symbolism of bread and the two miraculous feedings, and the deeper meaning behind this surprising encounter.
