Matthew 15:25

‘But she came and worshipped him, saying, “Lord, help me” '

But then He is put on the spot, for with great boldness, and no doubt a sense of despair at His not replying, she came close and fell before Him, worshipping Him, and crying, ‘Lord, help me.' This put her appeal in a different light. A personal appeal like this was a different matter, and one that He found difficult to resist. And yet even now He could not respond to her unless she recognised exactly on what terms. She had to be made to recognise what she was asking, and Whom she was asking it from. But it seems that His thoughts were now clarified, and that His Father had shown Him what He is to do.
