CHANGED IN HIS PRESENCE mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is demon-possessed." Jesus did not even reply. He completely ignored her. Why would He not answer such a cry from a desperate heart? The disciples also rejected her and urged Jesus to send her away because she was making so much noise. Jesus explained His treatment of the woman to His disciples by saying, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." What does this mean? Look again at how the woman addressed Jesus. She called Him, "Son of David." However, it would only be proper for a Jew to call Him that name. She was a heathen and had no right to appeal to Him as the Son of David. He ignored her request because she appealed to Him to do something for her on the basis of a relationship which she did not have with Him. However, instead of leaving, she appealed to Him a different way—through worship. Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" (Matt. 15:25). You would think Jesus would respond to her plea at this point. Did He ever! He exposed her hypocrisy. He addressed her directly and said, "It is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to little dogs." She called Him Lord and He called her a dog! A little dog! I grew up in the Middle East and was told never use this word. This was a very degrading term. But Jesus confronted her with truth. She was a Gentile, and she did not have 52
Restoring the Relationship the same relationship with Him as did those in the house of Israel. He wasn't mean or uncompassionate. He used this to bring her into a right relationship with Him. She responded, "Truth, Lord, I am a dog, but even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table." She repented of her previous attitude and acknowledged the truth about herself. Her repentance now brought her into a right relationship with Jesus. He commended her, and her daughter was healed at that moment. She came into a right relationship with the Lord, and the result was her daughter's healing. Over the past number of years, I have witnessed many things in the ministry. I don't think anything has troubled me more than when I see people desiring the manifestation of God's presence but having no desire to know God. They want what He can do for them, but they don't want Him. Too many believers have a relationship with God that is dependent on what He does for them. They love Him as long as everything is going fine, but what happens to the relationship when things are not going so well? I encourage you to never come into God's presence just because you need something. Come into His presence because you love Him and need Him. The Lord will use worship to bring you to Himself, and worship will be an evaluating factor. His evaluations of us in worship are 53
