(KJV) Mark 7:27
But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
CHILDREN’S BREAD / MARK 7:27
The word “children” refers to Israel. Jesus is teaching that His message and plan of spiritual salvation must be taken first to Israel (through whom God had been revealing and working out that plan all throughout the Old Testament). The woman understands this, yet she responds to Christ in a wise and persistent manner, which shows a strong faith. Jesus is not disrespecting the woman, but rather He is testing her faith. She fully understands Jesus’ analogy of the family pet not having the same privileges as the children. She makes the case that it is God’s purpose for Gentiles (people other than Jews) to benefit from God’s blessings on Israel. This woman seemed to understand that the privileges of God’s kingdom are available to all who demonstrate a true and persistent faith in Christ (Matthew 15:28). The Lord rewards her faith by healing her child (Mark 7:28-30). God’s people, whether praying for themselves or others, must often show perseverance. This is not because God is reluctant to answer us, but because it shows our dependence on Christ even when we do not understand everything (Luke 18:1-8).
