Small Fry Gets Super-Sized
Here’s what we learn about Jesus at this meal…
Fact #1: Jesus believes that no one is insignificant
When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” Luke 19:5-7
Fact #2: Jesus always had time to talk
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. Luke 19:1
Fact #3: For Jesus mission is the priority.
Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:9-10
Here’s what Jesus wants us to learn from this meal…
