She is a woman. A foreigner. A pagan. Unclean.
He belongs to the chosen people.
She has means, independence, and a crackling intelligence.
He is an illegitimate, itinerant rabbi.
She has a daughter possessed by a demon. She needs him.
He is on a purposeful but limited mission.
She is everything he most despises and fears.
He’s in for a major breakthrough.
She knows it.
He’s about to embrace his inner pagan, feminine, unclean, wealthy, witty, maternal, inner self.
And love us more than even he ever thought possible.
Amen.

Love is bigger than us all!

I love the idea that Jesus, by healing this woman’s daughter, is embracing his pagan, feminine, witty, unclean self. Oh, I feel that those words were chosen to describe me. Maybe Jesus will embrace me too.
