First jesus was going to a particular place (tyre, Sidon) when he was going to a destination a woman On the way interrupts jesus (which was common then) when the woman pleads to jesus he keeps quite which provokes his disciples to question him that (why can't you just do a miracle and let her go) the disciples were thinking from their common sense. Jesus replies that he has a destination to go and a purpose to follow. (Note this point) when the woman pleads to jesus to cure her daughter even if it's not his purpose /will . The woman believes that she can get a miracle because if jesus decides he can do a miracle. Then jesus tells the woman "your faith has saved you" so, this was a lesson to bis disciples when jesus leaves earth and when you(disciples) has to travel across the earth to proclaim the gospel and cure millions. They have to reach people by faith not by purpose or by choice. Jesus is great teacher.
