      @@daimonmau5097 I would agree. What I loved about it was how seriously Sally took it when Jesus is telling her to tone it down. She felt genuinely bad, embarrassed by what she had done. What is funny is that she is someone who really does want to do the right thing, and Jesus ends up feeling a little embarrassed. The best part? There is a story in the Gospels where a woman gets Jesus to heal her daughter by, essentially, shaming him! Mark 7:24-31 and Matthew 15:22-28. In the context of the culture, the woman called Jesus out.
      So I appreciated that this had some gentle humor, really.

I looked at what this story was, it was a famous one, but it was not a "I called you out" situation. Jesus decided to not help her for the stated reason, and the woman was REALLY good on her answer and showed that she really believed in him, so he changed his mind. I think it's somehow when you (if you are catholic) ask for him to heal your son, and he doesn't do. But then you ask again in a REALLY better/strong way, and he does.
