Out Of Bounds, But Not Out Of Grace

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 12, 2005

When Jesus meets the Syrophoenician woman He seems to act totally out of character. However there is a reason why He acts in this way … and it is a reason which gives us all hope.

Mark 7:24-30 People of God in the Lord Jesus Christ, On many occasions in the Scriptures the actions of Jesus make perfect sense – but our text doesn’t seem to fit into that category does it.
