Bible Note: Thanks Doc, I am not sure that it was a tremendous amount of presupposition and knowledge that caused him to speak those words. I think it was a heart bursting with Gratitude. He did climb a tree to see Jesus To see the one who is the truth the life and the way.He wasn't a scribe or a lawyer he was a thief with a license. I believe he was cut to the quick by the words of Jesus. He was not a scholar. Jesus said tax gatherers and prostitutes will enter heaven before you when speaking to the teachers of the word. They had a wealth of presupposition and knowledge. Everybody knew Jesus was different. He offered hope the pharisees offered rules and regulations some from scripture and many added by the elders. We don't know what was going on in Zaccheus heart what happened the day before? How long had he hoped for a more good and purposeful life. It is possible that he did have a wealth of knowledge and presupposition but did the knowledge motivate him. Or was it something about this man Jesus Christ. Bottom Line I agree with you about the intellect. You do have wisdom. I thank you for your words . You have not accused me of any thing and for that I thank you. I also ask your forgiveness. I replied too quickly and out of hurt to the other persons post. You have kept a cool head. Thank you |
