Blessed and Loved: Jesus Came to Seek and Save the Lost!

At that time Jesus came to Jericho and intended to pass through the town.

Now a man there named Zacchaeus,

who was a chief tax collector and also a wealthy man,

was seeking to see who Jesus was;

but he could not see him because of the crowd,

for he was short in stature.

So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus,

who was about to pass that way.

When he reached the place, Jesus looked up and said,

"Zacchaeus, come down quickly,

for today I must stay at your house."

And he came down quickly and received him with joy.

When they saw this, they began to grumble, saying,

"He has gone to stay at the house of a sinner."

But Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord,

"Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor,

and if I have extorted anything from anyone

I shall repay it four times over."

And Jesus said to him,

"Today salvation has come to this house

because this man too is a descendant of Abraham.

For the Son of Man has come to seek

and to save what was lost."

~Luke 19:1-10

Jesus loves us so much! He gives us so much mercy and compassion. What a nice story about Zacchaeus, he repented and changed His ways. He knew and believed in Jesus!  We are so blessed Jesus came for all of us, He is seeking all of us, to save the lost. He wants us to repent and be people of goodwill. Salvation is for every single one of us! We all have a chance to change our ways. To be good. Jesus gives us all another chance to be able to have that chance to spend eternity with Him in Heaven! He is offering us blessings and miracles every single day. We need to decide if we will follow Him!
