Moral Persistence
Matthew 15:21-28
Then Jesus went there, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.…


To sink under the burden argueth weakness, but it is strength of faith to wrestle through it. We read of Pherecides, a Grecian, in a naval fight between his nation and Xerxes, that he held a boat in which the Persians were fighting, first with his right arm; when that was cut off, with his left; when that was cut off, with his teeth; and would not let go his holdfast but with his life.

(T. Manton.)
