Gentiles
[Bible references: Matthew 4:15; 8:5-13; 15:21-28; Luke 6:17-19]
The term, Gentile. refers to anyone who is not Jewish. When we think of Jesus’ interactions with the Gentiles, we primarily think of their role during Jesus’ trial and execution, but there were a couple of instances of Gentiles displaying great faith. Jesus had high praise for the faith of a Roman centurion when the centurion trusted the Jesus to heal his servant while Jesus was still a distance away from the servant. In another case, a Canaanite woman persisted in seeking Jesus’ healing for her demon oppressed daughter. Even though Jesus’ reminded her of his mission to ‘the lost sheep of Israel’ she still pressed the issue by insisting that even dogs eat the crumbs from the master’s table. Additionally, many Gentiles came with all the Jews to listen to Jesus and to be healed.
Observe
Read Matthew 15:24. Jesus proclaimed that he was only sent to the “lost sheep of Israel”. How does Jesus’ interaction with the Gentiles fit with that?
