Section 14
the smallness of our Lord is concerned, no one is as small as He is. He is bread that is small enough for us to eat.
In Matthew 15 we see that the Lord not only became the loaves, but also the crumbs, which are small fragments of a loaf. Many of us were not qualified to take Him as loaves. However, surely we are qualified to take Him as crumbs. Do you remember what the woman of Canaan said to the Lord when she asked Him to help her and He said that it was "not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs"? She said, "Yes, Lord; for even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table" (Matt. 15:27). The Canaanite woman was not offended by the Lord's hard words and by the fact that He referred to her as a dog. She seemed to be telling the Lord, "Yes, Lord, I am a Gentile dog, but the Gentile dog has his portion. The children's portion is on the table, and the dog's portion is under the table. Lord, You must real ize that now You are not on the table but under the table, because the naughty children have cast You away. Now that You are under the table, You can be my portion." The Lord admired her faith. We all need to enjoy the Lord in such a lowly way. Do not wait to go to heaven to enjoy Him.
