This lady had been untouchable for 12 years - rejected, outcast, scorned. Jesus treated her as a human.
Jesus is good at treating people like humans. How good am I at treating people like humans? It struck me today in a conversation about prison that I was having with a student in my form that if you've been locked away for 12 years, it's tricky to return to a normal life. If you've been locked up for 12 years, what can the church offer you on your release? Is there anything that I could do to show love to people who aren't free?
