In Luke 19:1-10 the
people all murmured or muttered about a man named Zacchaeus. Jesus didn’t talk
bad about him. Instead we get 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 Jesus to the world
around you. Amen?
