Today’s scripture starts with Jesus who wanted to be alone. In the “Message” translation, verse 24 translated as, “He entered a house there, where he didn’t think he would be found.” For me, it was kind of interesting that Jesus did not wanted to be found? I guess, as a human being, Jesus might needed some rest. Anyways Jesus was not in the area of Tyre to do some wonderful minstries as we had seen. But some woman who had heard about Christ, immediately came and fell at Christ’s feet, as soon as she heard Jesus in town.
Usually when people came to christ and asked help, Jesus literally helped them. But this woman was little bit different. Mark added little more information about this woman, whom was Syrophoenician. Syrophoenician occurs only …show more content…

When people brought their family/friend/neighbor deaf person to Christ with faith that Jesus can heal, he made deaf to hear and the mute to speak. Lots of your friends and neighbors would be deaf and mute in spiritually. Go out and bring them back to Christ, ask Christ to work for them. Your faith will make you to be part of God’s wonderful works.
Today we will have communion. This is another act of faith. If you do not have faith, this will be just end up with bread and grape juice. But with faith, these elements becomes body and blood of Christ that cleansed us and saved us from sin and death. With faith, let’s
