Matthew 15:26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”
Jesus was very good at stopping people in their tracks and forcing them to think about what they were actually doing in their lives.
Here He provokes the woman by talking about the people of Israel as children and the others as dogs.
Her response follows and she uses her masters words to bring out the point further.
We need to look at the realities in life and not just have kind words about things which challenge us.
