Day 83: God proves Aaron to be the High Priest | Jesus heals and forgives a paralytic
In Numbers 16:36-18, Korah, Dathan, and Abiram challenge Moses and Aaron, questioning their leadership and sparking a rebellion against them. God responds by opening the earth to swallow the rebels and sending fire to consume 250 men offering incense, demonstrating His support for Moses and Aaron. This severe punishment serves as a warning to the Israelites about the dangers of rebellion against God's chosen leaders. Will the Israelites heed this divine warning, or will further rebellions emerge against Moses and Aaron's leadership? In Luke 5:17-32, Jesus demonstrates His power and mercy through two significant acts. First, He heals a paralyzed man brought to Him by friends, proving His authority to forgive sins when He commands the man to walk. Then, He calls Levi (Matthew), a tax collector, to follow Him, dining with sinners and outcasts, which provokes criticism from the Pharisees for associating with such people. Jesus responds, emphasizing His mission to call not the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Will society accept Jesus' radical inclusion and transformation, or will His actions deepen divisions among the people?
