The Bread of Life for All Mankind

Text: Mark 7:24-30 | Speaker: Levi Bakerink | Description: Jesus retreats to the area near Tyre and Sidon to rest with his disciples. But a Syrophoenician woman seeks out his help for her daughter who is demon possessed. At first Jesus denies her request, but not because of any hostility or animosity. Rather, he turns this situation into a parable that shows forth this woman's extraordinary faith. Through this event, we see how Christ truly is the Bread of Life, not just for the children of Israel, but for all mankind who receive him by faith.
