Humans are very good about placing boundaries between US and THEM. In our focus text Jesus acknowledges one of these human boundaries that separated the Jewish people from the non-Jewish people. But the woman he encounters is desperate to help her daughter even if it means crossing that boundary to ask for help from someone on the other side. The healing of her daughter illustrates the power of God’s love, grace, mercy, and compassion to break down our boundaries so that we can cross over to the “other” side and share that love, grace, mercy, and compassion with them!
