 *i. 8:10 TO DALMANUTHA BY BOAT*

kai euTHUS emBAS eis to PLOIon meTA t*o*n ma-th*e*T*O*N auTOU,

*And straightway he entered into the boat with his :disciples,*

*E*Lthen eis ta MEr*e* Dal-ma-nouTHA.

*and** came into the parts of Dalmanutha.*



 *NOTE**: *7:24-30 - This Syrophoenician woman was *determined* to press
through and get deliverance for her daughter. *No* difficulty Jesus placed
in her way was going to stop her! And Jesus responded to her persistence and
her faith! Smith Wigglesworth of England commented upon a similar woman of
faith who was *determined* to send her dog home when a bus hove into view!

*Faith - mighty faith - the Promise sees -*

*And looks to God alone.*

*Laughs at Impossibilities,*

*And cries, It shall be done!*


 7:31-37 - And see the deaf and dumb man from the area of Decapolis. It
wasn't the faith of *this* man that brought a miracle to him - it was the
faith of his friends - who brought him to Jesus, and
*beseeched*(pa-ra-kaLOUsin) Him to lay hands on their friend!
*This* is the kind of faith we ought to apply on behalf of *our* needy
friends. Will God hear us? Of course - especially when the situation is as
such as when His Son walked on the face of the earth! But when Peter and
Paul allowed the Spirit of Jesus to move through them - similar things
happened! And it *all* glorified God!


 8:1-10 - We need to observe that it was the tremendous
*pity*(SplagchNIzo-mai) in Jesus for the needy crowd that released
such a miracle
to meet their human need. And do we sometimes wonder how our Heavenly Father
perceives *our* human need? Just like His Son! To see Jesus acting in the
Gospels is to understand *fully* the heart of our Father - for He and His
Father are *one*! There is absolute unity in the Triunity of the Godhead!


 And does God look on His wayward people Israel in this same manner? In the
*same* manner! For Jesus was sent *first* to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel - because their leaders had failed in their “shepherd” calling and
ministry to the people. God has brought Israel back to *their* land which He
has *eternally* given them - in *unbelief*! They at present are very few who
know Him and understand His purposes on their behalf. Out of some 6 million
Jews in the land, but 15,000 openly declare themselves as Messianic Jews -
that is - Jews who recognize *Jesus* as their Jewish Messiah! But the day
soon comes when a remnant of this chosen people will receive God's spiritual
birth from above in a day! Think of the shock to the nations of the world -
who as “goat” nations have treated the lost sheep of the house of Israel as
is being done today! J.A.W.
