Friday
Read Luke 19:1-10
Jesus went on into Jericho and was passing
through. 2There was a chief tax collector there named Zacchaeus, who
was rich. 3He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was a little
man and could not see Jesus because of the crowd. 4So he ran ahead
of the crowd and climbed a sycomore tree to see Jesus, who was going to pass
that way. 5When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to
Zacchaeus, “Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house today.”
6 Zacchaeus hurried down and
welcomed him with great joy. 7All the people who saw it started
grumbling, “This man has gone as a guest to the home of a sinner!”
8 Zacchaeus stood up and said to the
Lord, “Listen, sir! I will give half my belongings to the poor, and if I have
cheated anyone, I will pay back four times as much.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Salvation has
come to this house today, for this man, also, is a descendant of Abraham. 10The
Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
Think
Jesus sees Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was
looking for Jesus. Jesus reaches out to
Zacchaeus; Zacchaeus sets his life straight.
