Seeking the Lost
Jesus was going through the city of Jericho. In Jericho there
was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a wealthy, very important
tax collector. He wanted to see who Jesus was. There were
many other people that wanted to see Jesus too. Zacchaeus was
too short to see above the people. So he ran to a place where
he knew Jesus would come. Then Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore
tree so he could see Jesus. When Jesus came to that place,
Jesus looked up and saw Zacchaeus in the tree. Jesus said to
him, "Zacchaeus, hurry! Come down! I must stay at your house
today."
-- Luke 19:1-5 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
When Zacchaeus demonstrated his desire to see Jesus, Jesus looked up
and saw him, then called him by name and asked to share a meal in his
home. God wants us to know that when people are actively seeking the
Lord, he seeks after them until he finds them! Not only does he
willingly listen to those whose hearts are burdened (See the last few
verses of chapter 17.), he also reaches out for those who are seeking
him even if they are outcasts in their own world.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, I know you longed for me to be your child even before I had
begun to seek after you. Thank you for finding me and bringing me into
your family through the gift of your Son. In Jesus' name I praise and
thank you for your grace that has brought my salvation. Amen.
