John Nelson Darby emphasizes the profound contrast between man's heart towards God and God's heart towards humanity, illustrating how the coming of Jesus revealed the true nature of sin and the depth of God's grace. He explains that while the law was meant to expose sin, man often misused it to seek self-righteousness, failing to recognize their need for God's grace. The sermon highlights the story of the Syrophoenician woman, who, despite her unworthiness, understood the abundance of God's grace and mercy, demonstrating that true humility and recognition of one's need can lead to divine favor. Darby concludes that the veil has been torn, allowing sinners to approach God directly, emphasizing that grace is available to all who acknowledge their need for it. Ultimately, he calls for believers to embrace the fullness of God's grace and the cleansing power of Christ's sacrifice.

A.W. Tozer emphasizes that the fundamental needs of humanity have not changed from the first century to the twentieth century. Despite advancements in technology and lifestyle, people still grapple with sin, mortality, fear, and the longing for peace and eternal life. The struggles of betrayal, loss, and the fear of judgment remain constant, highlighting the universal need for Jesus as the source of deliverance and peace. Tozer reminds us that, regardless of the era, the human heart's cry for salvation and comfort is unchanged, underscoring the timeless relevance of Christ's message.
