392.


Zacchaeus Converted

1.

Today's Passage: Luke 19:1-10


Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).


2.

Thank You for meeting me, LORD.
I welcome you into this place.
Please prepare my heart Jehovah.
Thank you for insight.


1. Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.
2. There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich.
3. He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd.
4. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way.

5. When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. "Zacchaeus!" he said. "Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today."

6. Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy.
7. But the people were displeased. "He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner," they grumbled.

8. Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, "I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!"

9. Jesus responded, "Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham.
10. For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost."
Luke 19:1-10 NLT

15th strategy.
Imagine


  • Prepare your heart - that means ask Him to open you to be able to listen well.
  • Ask Jesus to bring you into the very presence of God Himself as you read instructions
  • Imagine the characters in this passage.
  • Are they facing a large enemy? or a challenge?
  • Have they followed God? or have they fled from His guidance?
  • Are they trusting God?
  • Are they experiencing pain, or loss?
  • Imagine them as friends.
  • What would you do if you were there beside them?
  • Would you be willing to encourage them?
  • What would you do if you were experiencing their story?
  • Who would you turn to for guidance? God? A mentor? Satan?
  • Ask God to show you how to lean on Him in times of attack, or challenge.
  • Thank God for His presence with you right now.

Thank you for coming today.
Please leave your initials and a comment.

And remember,
I pray for you every day.
And I will be back here tomorrow,
I hope I will see you here too.

Zaccheaus was a wee little man
and a wee little man was he.
He climbed up in the Sycomore tree
for the LORD he wanted to see.
And when the LORD came by that day
He looked up in the tree.
And He said, "Zaccheaus, you come down.
For I'm going to your house today."

I have sung that song since I was a child.

And today, I need Jesus to come to my house today.
I want Him to come over.
I want to get so excited at the possibility that I am looking out for Him, from every high and every low.

Thank You LORD.
LORD Jesus Come.
