2 | the conversion of Zaccheus | Luke | stjones | 19966 | ||
In addition to what prayon said, there are a number of other lessons or examples in this incident: 1. Zacchaeus showed determination in his desire to find out about Jesus - he wasn't passive. (19:3-4) 2. When called, Z responded immediately and obediently, unlike, say, the rich young ruler in Mark 11:17-22. (19:5-6) 3. Without being prompted, Z demonstrated a giving spirit. (19:8a) 4. Again without prompting, Z repented and made amends for past sins. (19:8b) I wonder how many of us, upon first hearing about Jesus, responded with enthusiasm, obedience, and a joyful spirit like Zacchaeus. I know I didn't :-( Peace and grace, Steve |
