Jericho? Zacchaeus? Jesus? Luke 19:7-10

Hello all! Another wonderful day to be a child of God.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!

   God's arms are beneath you and ready to carry you.  All you have to do is let go, let God!!  Sorry I am late today, waiting for the spirit.  Yes, you and I are sinners.  But you know what?  Jesus loves us. The people of Jericho were offended when Jesus went to the home of Zacchaeus, the tax collector.  They complained saying "he has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner' (Luke 19:7).  When Zacchaeus had a deep change of heart (v.8), Jesus told him "TODAY SALVATION HAS COME TO THIS HOUSE...FOR THE SON OF MAN HAS COME TO SEEK AND TO SAVE THAT WHICH WAS LOST" (v9-10).

   When people see someone who is not like them, many times they treat them with contempt.  Why?  Jesus did not!!  Homeless?  Poor? Middle class? Wealth?  What difference does it make when talking about eternal life.  For the wealthy and upper middle class who thrive on material things, they need to think....."Ever see a hearse with a luggage rack?"  You can't take it with you.

Treat all with love and if they are lost give them the opportunity to find that eternal home - Heaven! Praising the Lord!  Questions:  Has salvation come to your house?  Have you shared salvation with others?  Will you share with a lost relative, friend, or stranger?

To change a term slightly,  "SIR, WE WOULD BE LIKE JESUS!"  Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
