Introduction

1. The Faith of a Gentile Woman (7:24-30)

2. Open Up, O Ears! (7:31-37)

3. Open Up, O Eyes! (8:22-26)

Conclusion
• Am I ‘open’ to the truth about Jesus, or am I still closed?
• The failure of the children of the Covenant to see who Jesus is will open up a door of opportunity for the Gentiles to enter in.
• If outsiders can receive the scraps of grace from the children’s table – and be healed – how much more will we find life and hope in Christ today, if we only open up to him!
• Jesus does not reject those who come to him humbly, with faith.
• Don’t be dull like the disciples, or heartless like the Pharisees.
• Pray that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes, ears, and mouth; and send you out with the message of salvation in Jesus’ name.
