Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As a Preacher and a Teacher, Christ came to administer to the circumcision, the Jews, the seed of Israel.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Christ did what he was sent to do; he was the Messiah, the sent One.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. “Then came she, and worshipped him.” If Jesus Christ was not really and truly God, he was a base imposter to allow this woman to worship him. She had called him “Lord,” once before, and he did not rebuke her, and now she not only calls him “Lord,” but she worships him. She was doing quite...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. She takes a humbler attitude than she had at first assumed. She comes closer, and she is more earnest and personal in her pleading than she had been: “Lord help me.” Her prayer is shorter than it was at first; and I think that, when prayers grow shorter, they grow stronger. There is often...

She seemed to snatch at that idea as she cried,...
