The kingdom of heaven is like a Canaanite mother who crosses the border seeking mercy for her demonized daughter. This immigrant mother exhibits courage as a rhythm to demand justice. She asks for what she needs, believes in the identity & authority of Jesus, stands in solidarity with her daughter, and risks rejection. Her repetitive courage is disruptive even as she is a dreamer who dreams of a future without demons for her daughter and her community.
