He didn't say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He was in charge of the money-bag and would steal part of what was put in it.

Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground. For it is time to seek Jehovah, until He comes and rains righteousness on you. 

If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

The discussion emphasized the importance of obedience in achieving miraculous outcomes, using biblical examples. Speaker 1 highlighted the story of Jesus healing 10 lepers, where obedience to Jesus' command to show themselves to the priests led to their healing. The speaker also referenced Moses' obedience to God's command to place his leprous hand back into his bosom, which was then healed. These acts of obedience initiated a series of miraculous events. The speaker contrasted divine healing with scientific healing, noting that divine healing addresses the cause of diseases, while scientific healing uses antibiotics to combat bacteria.

When I think of how He came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who am I?
