I remember how shocked I was when I first heard the story of the Canaanite woman in the Bible with a demon possessed daughter, and how she came to Jesus, heart in hand, but was initially rejected. See, there’s a warped view of our Lord that’s circulating around the world, one where no punitive measures or harshness is ever noticed as being tied to him - harsh according to most contemporary customs of the world, of course. If looked at wrongly, one might not understand why Jesus had to whip the money peddlers that hovered around the house of God, a sacred place of worship.

Maybe you and I have been there where Jesus was. Abandoned by others at the very time we craved connection. Misunderstood in terms of wanting to be with others and not “just left alone” to get over it by ourselves. Maybe we’ve entered our own age of loneliness. Maybe we’ve felt as if we, too, were sweating blood while others were off taking it easy. Maybe we’ve had our own Gethsemane moments.
