Great Faith...

"Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour." Matthew 15:28

 

As we read of this woman of Canaan approaching Jesus for help we find what may seem a much unexpected response from our Savior at first glance. Jesus basically tells her "no", that He is there for Israel and no one else. When we think of our Savior we never picture Him turning a deaf ear to anyone. But as we examine the story as a whole we notice that it's not a rejection, but a test, a test of faith. It is a test that the woman passes with flying colors. As a matter of fact Jesus tells the woman she had "Great Faith". When most would have left with the first response Jesus gave, this woman would not be moved. She was resolved in the fact that Jesus was the only answer. She had a need and she came to the one whom makes all things possible, and she wasn't leaving until she got what she came for.

 

"Great Faith", this is a faith that will not be denied. It is a faith that calls out to God, and doesn't stop until it gets an answer. "Great Faith" knows that nothing is impossible for God, and approaches God with this attitude. This is a faith that seeks out the Lord with all of its heart, mind, soul, and strength. "Great Faith" gets the attention of our Lord, for it is a faith full of desperation, a faith that can only be satisfied by the Lord. It is a faith that sees Jesus as its only hope. "Great Faith" pleases God, and through it all thing are possible to us!

 

"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." Mark 9:23
