When He said, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel," He stated the truth, and in His work for the Canaanite woman He was fulfilling His commission. This woman was one of the lost sheep that Israel should have rescued. It was their appointed work, the work which they had neglected, that Christ was doing.

Da Jesus sagde: "Jeg er ikke udsendt til andre end til de fortabte får af Israels hus" var det sandhed, han udtalte, og ved at hjælpe den kananæiske kvinde udførte han sit hverv. Denne kvinde var et af de fortabte får, som Israel burde have reddet. Det var den gerning, der var bestemt for dem, den gerning, de havde forsømt, som Kristus udførte.
