Make my day. Again.

It is interesting that as soon as Jesus finishes talking to the Pharisees and scribes about what is clean and why something is clean or unclean, Jesus immediately head out for the Tyre district.

Gentiles.

Pagans.

Probably bunches of herds of swine up there.

On the Unclean-O-Meter, the district of Tyre must have been about 8.9 on the Richter scale.

People dodging lightning bolts all over the place.

Yet, Jesus does a work of power for a Greek outlander, Syrophoenician by birth, a woman. He expels a demon from her daughter who is not present but in an undisclosed location somewhere else.

It looks like another "Make my day" kind of situation.

Thanks, Lord!
