Episode Synopsis

Christ is the head of a new humanity. He is knitting together a kingdom of priests from all the corners of the earth. When the scribes and Pharisees reject what Christ is offering, He goes to the obscure corners to bring outsiders in. What started as a single Canaanite woman happy like a dog for crumbs has become a small city being fed a full meal, equal to that of the children. Christ starts with the lost sheep of Israel, but now He is bringing in outsiders as well. There is no end to Christ's mercy, so the charge is this – whether you are ministering to one or to many, God's grace is sufficient. He will supply your every need. As God's people in the world, may we be known for our humility, our gratitude, our peacefulness, and most importantly our reliance on the bread of heaven that only He can supply.
