Crumbs from the Table

Miracles (Part 2)

Mark 7:24-30

Sunday, June 1, 2025

A woman who turns to Jesus seeking healing for her ailing daughter is rebuffed by the miracle worker himself, simply because she is a Gentile. The story sets up a striking contrast between the apparent callousness of Jesus and the remarkable persistence of the unnamed woman. Somewhere in the midst of all that tension we find a miracle.

Some of the most memorable moments of Jesus's life and ministry are his miraculous deeds—actions that awed crowds and set people to talking far beyond the Galilean countryside. Sometimes we treat these events as mere spectacle: raw demonstrations of God's power and proof of the Christ's divine origins. But there is so much more to these stories. They convey nothing short of the very heart and will of God, and through them we glimpse the greatest miracle of all: God's care and concern for this world and everyone in it.
