Deuteronomy 23:1-24:22……. God turned the curse of Balaam into a blessing for the Israelites because He loved them. How much more for us in the New Covenant, Jesus became a curse for us so the blessing of Abraham would come on us. Galatians 3:10-14

NEW TESTAMENT
Luke 5:17-39…… The religious folk were in the presence of Jesus and the power of God was there to heal them, so there must have been some who needed healing among but none of them were healed, why?
