Sick people lying on mats outside hoped for and received healing from Jesus. Pharisees and scribes hoped to discredit Him. For example, they pointed out that some of the Lord’s followers skipped ritual handwashing before putting food past their lips. Jesus said to worry instead about doing mere lip service to God and His Commandments. The “chosen people” felt favored by God, and Jesus acknowledged that healing a Gentile woman’s daughter would seem like throwing food meant for children to the dogs. When she responded that even dogs get table scraps dropped by children, Jesus did as she asked. In a miraculous meal, the Lord multiplied seven loaves and a few fish to feed a huge crowd. The Lord sustains us. He also cured a deaf man with a speech impediment. Having heard the Word of God, what spiritual impediments prevent us from telling the Good News to others?
