As we saw yesterday in Luke 19:1-10 the people all murmured or muttered about Zacchaeus. Jesus didn’t and gives us a picture of the relationship He desires with all humanity. There are three things we can take from this passage.
1. God is
a seeking God. Why do we expect people come to us? We need to be
willing to go and share the Gospel.
2 God
calls us by name - people want to be heard and recognized. Why do you think
Walmart has greeters? Image is not everything – relationship is what people
desire.
3. Jesus
identifies with us. He wants to spend time with us, even though He knows
all about us!
Do you know your
community, and are you glad when people come to your church?
Do you seek opportunities
to engage with them?
In Jesus’ Great Commission we
are told to Go! Are you ready?
Be wise today and always. Be Jesus
to the world around you.
