VIII. MAIN BODY:

Matthew 15:26 (Amplified Bible)

And He answered, It is not right (proper, becoming, or fair) to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.

Matthew 15:26 (King James Version)

But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.

A. Not right to take the children's bread

"And He answered, It is not right (proper, becoming, or fair) to take the children’s bread"

Children or "teknon" in Greek meaning: child, daughter, son

Bread or "artos" in Greek meaning:bread, loaf.

Children refer to the Jews, bread refers to GOD's Providence: spiritual and physical and dogs refers to heathens, or Gentiles, but when you accept the LORD JESUS you become a child, no more a dog.

Why not take the children's bread and toss or cast it to the dogs?

1. Because it's holy and sacred

Matthew 7:6 (Amplified Bible)

Do not give that which is holy (the sacred thing) to the dogs, and do not throw your pearls before hogs, lest they trample upon them with their feet and turn and tear you in pieces.

2. Because children feed first

Mark 7:27-28 (Amplified Bible)

And He said to her, First let the children be fed, for it is not becoming or proper or right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the [little house] dogs.

But she answered Him, Yes, Lord, yet even the small pups under the table eat the little children’s scraps of food.

We are aware that the children that is referred to this are the Jews and the dogs are the Gentiles.

Acts 22:21-22 (Amplified Bible)

And the Lord said to me, Go, for I will send you far away unto the Gentiles (nations).

Up to the moment that Paul made this last statement, the people listened to him; but now they raised their voices and shouted, Away with such a fellow from the earth! He is not fit to live!

John 4:22 (Amplified Bible)

You [Samaritans] do not know what you are worshiping [you worship what you do not comprehend]. We do know what we are worshiping [we worship what we have knowledge of and understand], for [after all] salvation comes from [among] the Jews.

Romans 11:1-5 (Amplified Bible)

I ASK then: Has God totally rejected and disowned His people? Of course not! Why, I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin!

No, God has not rejected and disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and foreknown from the beginning. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel?

Lord, they have killed Your prophets; they have demolished Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.

But what is God’s reply to him? I have kept for Myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal!

So too at the present time there is a remnant (a small believing minority), selected (chosen) by grace (by God’s unmerited favor and graciousness).

B. Not right to throw/cast it to the dogs

"and throw it to the little dogs"

Dogs or "kunarion" in Greek meaning: a puppy, dog.

The dogs is referring to the Canaanite woman, and this Canaanite woman accepted the call of GOD upon her life, that she admitted two things: (a) she's a dog even a puppy, (b) she deserves the leftover of the children. Dogs, on a wider sense, refers to the Gentiles.

The Jews, while they boasted of being the children of God, gave the name of dogs to the heathen, for their idolatry, etc. - [Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge]

Romans 9:4 (Amplified Bible)

For they are Israelites, and to them belong God’s adoption [as a nation] and the glorious Presence (Shekinah). With them were the special covenants made, to them was the Law given. To them [the temple] worship was revealed and [God’s own] promises announced.

Galatians 2:15 (Amplified Bible)

[I went on to say] Although we ourselves (you and I) are Jews by birth and not Gentile (heathen) sinners,

Ephesians 2:12 (Amplified Bible)

[Remember] that you were at that time separated (living apart) from Christ [excluded from all part in Him], utterly estranged and outlawed from the rights of Israel as a nation, and strangers with no share in the sacred compacts of the [Messianic] promise [with no knowledge of or right in God’s agreements, His covenants]. And you had no hope (no promise); you were in the world without God.

Philippians 3:2 (Amplified Bible)

Look out for those dogs [Judaizers, legalists], look out for those mischief-makers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh.

Revelation 22:15 (Amplified Bible)

[But] without are the dogs and those who practice sorceries (magic arts) and impurity [the lewd, adulterers] and the murderers and idolaters and everyone who loves and deals in falsehood (untruth, error, deception, cheating).

IX. CONCLUSION:

Before I was a puppy, now a child of GOD.

John 1:12 (Amplified Bible)

But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You have given me all blessings upon blessings, all grace upon grace, all great favors upon great favors and all heaped gifts upon heaped gifts.
