5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW-

1-Were the wise men wealthy people?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY LUKE 14:1-6

Healing on the Sabbath

¹ On a Sabbath day, when Jesus went to eat at the home of a leading Pharisee, the people were watching Jesus very closely.² And in front of him was a man with dropsy. ³ Jesus said to the Pharisees and experts on the law, "Is it right or wrong to heal on the Sabbath day?" ⁴ But they would not answer his question. So Jesus took the man, healed him, and sent him away. ⁵ Jesus said to the Pharisees and teachers of the law, "If your child or ox falls into a well on the Sabbath day, will you not pull him out quickly?" ⁶ And they could not answer him.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
