Matthew 15:28
Jesus Tells the Woman She Has Great Faith
28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment.
As Jesus travelled from village to village, He teaches us that faith in His Father is everything...
Jesus grew up with and around the religion of Judaism...Jesus had great faith in God and believed in God and was always talking about God...And Jesus talked and taught about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in all of His teachings...Here He heals a woman's daughter, because of her Great Faith...And because God sent Jesus to us and to help us and teach us and save us from our sins somehow He became a part of the Judaism religion...He is the Messiah, that was to come...Faith in God was very much important to Jesus and that cannot be understated...Jesus' faith is firmly planted in His Father...
The non-believer does not believe in God…The non-believer might think that it is the majesty of man is what rules and rules the earth…The non-believer believes he is the one that makes and gives him his blessings and things in life…The non-believer’s faith in God is little, if any…But the believer thinks differently…The believer believes that faith in God is more than wishful thinking and sees faith as a part of his life…The believer believes that God is the one who blesses him with what he has received and has done…And the believer’s life is firmly planted in his relationship with God...
Philosopher Criss Jami wrote, “Worldly religion is that which replaces Faith with mere wishful thinking…One must not make the common mistake of putting his faith in all the things he thinks God ought to bless him with; he should instead keep his faith planted in God Himself…Present to Him his needs and wants like a child to his Father, but have faith only in His wisdom and goodness like a servant to his King…God must always be one's Everything before He is one's token to everything.”…
