Why is it significant that Jesus called the woman 'daughter'?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' address of the woman as 'daughter' signifies acceptance and restoration into God's family.

When Jesus refers to the woman as 'daughter,' it signifies not just physical healing but her full restoration into the family of God. This term reflects a deep relational connection that God initiates through Christ; it reveals that she was no longer defined by her issue of blood or her past. Instead, she is affirmed in her identity and worth in the eyes of God. This is significant because it underscores the transformative power of Christ in our lives. When we encounter Jesus with our needs and are healed, we are not only restored from our ailments but are also embraced as children of God. This identity carries with it the assurance of love, acceptance, and belonging within the community of faith, demonstrating the full impact of Christ’s redemptive work.
