This morning for my personal worship I was reading Luke 19. The chapter begins with the story about a man named Zacchaeus. It said that he was chief among the publicans and he was rich. He wanted to see Jesus. He wanted to see who He was. He heard that Jesus was coming to Jericho!! Because he was a short man, he couldn't see Jesus when He came down road because there were too many people in the way. He climbed up into a tree!! Now when Jesus came to that tree, He stopped, looked up and saw him, and said, "Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house." Amazing!!!! Here was a man who wanted to see Jesus and Jesus came exactly where he was. This tells me that no matter where you are or what you are doing in your life, if you want to see Jesus, He will come to you and reveal to you who He is!!!!! What an Awesome God!!! Zacchaeus was so impressed with Jesus that he said, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold." Zacchaeus repented of his sins. Then Jesus said to him, "This day is salvation come to this house, for so much as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." If you are reading this and perhaps you really don't know who Jesus is and you want to get to know Him. ASK Him to reveal Himself to you!!!!! All you got to do is ASK!! Perhaps you feel that you are such a great sinner and Jesus will not bother with you. That is a LIE!!! He said that He came to seek and to save that which was lost!!! He is waiting for you with open arms!!!!! See the beauty of His character!!!
