Day 87: Phinehas kills 2 sinners with 1 spear | Jesus raises a boy from death

In Numbers 23:27 through chapter 25, King Balak's final attempt to curse Israel through Balaam fails, leading to prophecies of blessings and victories for Israel instead. Despite these divine assurances, Israel falls into idolatry and immorality with the Moabites, invoking God's wrath and a deadly plague. Phinehas, in a zealous act, stops the plague by driving a spear through an Israelite man and a Midianite woman, showcasing his fervent commitment to God's covenant. Amidst divine blessings and swift judgments, one wonders: How will Phinehas's courageous stand influence Israel's future actions and their relationship with God? In Luke 7:11-35, Jesus arrives in Nain, encountering a funeral procession for a widow's only son. He compassionately raises the young man from the dead, astounding the crowd and spreading news of this miracle throughout the region. As Jesus continues to heal and John the Baptist sends messengers to inquire if Jesus is the one to come, the question arises: Will the people recognize Jesus as the promised Messiah, or will doubts cloud their faith?
