I. THE TRIALS AND DIFFICULTIES this supplicant's faith met with.

1. Christ is wholly silent.

2. Christ intimates that He had nothing to do with her.

3. Christ seems to answer with reproach and contempt.

II. How THE WAS DISCOVERED IN ITS TRIALS, AND WORKED THROUGH ALL.

1. Though Christ was silent she did not drop, but continued her suit.

2. She passes over the doubt she could not answer, and instead of disputing, adores Him, and prays to Him still.

3. She humbly let pass the (seeming) indignity, and turned that which seemed to make most against her into an argument for her obtaining the mercy she came to Him to beg for.

III. THE HAPPY ISSUE OF THIS, HOW GLORIOUSLY IT WAS REWARDED.

1. Her faith was owned, commended, and admired by the Author of it.

2. The reward of her faith was ample.

(Daniel Wilcox.)
