The Faithful Outsider |
|---|---|
| Had religious knowledge |
Knew her need |
| Knew the Scriptures |
Recognized the Savior |
| Expected Jesus to fit their expectations |
Trusted Jesus when she didn't understand |
| Took offense |
Remained humble |
| Wanted Jesus to send her away |
Refused to go away |
| Saw barriers |
Saw mercy |
| Believed they deserved |
Knew she needed grace |
| Rejected the King |
Worshiped the King |
