Matthew 15:21-28. When Jesus is confronted by a Canaanite woman, she saw herself as a loving mother seeking help for her daughter. The disciples, however, viewed her as a submissive mongrel who didn’t deserve help or mercy. Jesus, through his seemingly strange response, proclaims her to be a persistent model of faith. Jesus not only taught us to love our enemies, but he showed his disciples that they should love their enemy’s mother. Happy Mother’s Day!
