There were probaly many people in the bible days who were converted that were not actually mentioned in the bible,some stood out!
As Jesus wuz passing thru a city called Jericho,the city built under a curse,The city bein built this way should have felt honored 2 have Jesus presence there.ZACCHEUS,chief tax collector..a rich man,had a desire 2 c Jesus,we know that Jesus said it is very hard 4 a rich man 2 enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Zaccheus wuz a small man
and the crowd wuz great,every1 pressin 2 C Jesus.Jesus did not press 2 show HIMSELF he wuz lost in the crowd.Zaccheus ran like a little child and jumped up in a tree just 2 get a glimpse of Jesus.
People who truly desire Jesus will find a way 2 just get a glimpse of HIM.In this desire you must press your way and take evey advantage 2 achieve this goal,
Zaccheus home.Jesus outdid the expectation of Zaccheus,and he wuz overjoyed by the honour he had been given 2 dine with the Lord.Sometimes we make excuses when it comes to opening our hearts 2 Jesus.Not Zaccheus he made haste.Wow the murmuring started amongst the people who couldn believe that Jesus would pick such a sinner 2 have dinner with.But didn Jesus come 2 save those whom are lost?
HE IS THE GREAT PHYSICIAN
JusT because most tax collectors are bad people doesnt mean all are bad,we must take careful 2 lump all people in certain situations together,because everyman will BE judged according to their own works.ZACCHEUS BECAME REPENTENT.HE STOOD AND ADDRESSED JESUS,NOT THE PEOPLE, JESUS!HE SAID BEHOLD LORD HALF MY GOODS I GIVE 2 THE POOR,AND I GIVE IT NOW!I HAVE BEEN UNCHARITABLE 2 THE POOR AND THIS CHANGES NOW.HE SAID WHAT I HAVE TAKEN FROM MEN ILLGOTTENLY I WIL RESTORE IT FOUR FOLD,NOW 2DAY.If a person is truly repentant they will look back on all the wrong they have done,and begin 2 make it right.THIS DAY.....SALVATION HAS COME 2 THE HOUSE OF ZACCHEUS!
Now that Zaccheus is converted he will be more than a blessing.
THE WHOLE WORLD OF MANKIND(BY THE FALL)HAS BECOME A LOST WORLD.JESUS CAME 2 SEEK AND 2 SAVE.2 SEEK IN ORDER 2 SAVE.
JESUS UNDERTOOK A GREAT CAUSE,A CAUSE WHICH HAD GRIEVED OUR GOD.THANK YOU OBEDIENT JESUS 4 ALL YOU DONE IN GOIN 2 THE CROSS 4 THE SINS OF MAN.
