Luke 19.1-11
The bible records that Zaccheaus was a well known man. People understood his character. To those he had confiscated there wares he was a person to detest. Them who had been conned by him just a mention of that name aroused very bad memories. But Zaccheaus never looked at how bad he was. Rather he envisioned what Jesus could translate him into. Instead of sitting pensively and wondering at what became of you why not pick yourself and run to Jesus. This will be the end of your old story and beginning of a new one. The goodness is that you will not struggle in this case, for the Holy Spirit will be your companion, he will lead you in all truth and will counsel and encourage you.
When you come down from the tree at Jesus command, blessings are bound to follow. It is encouraging that as much as you might be wondering whether there is any door of hope, Jesus understands and even knows where you are and what you are going through. When he came where Zaccheaus was he commanded him to come down. Today it is time to come down from your lawlessness. Come down from drug addiction. Come down from sexual sins for Jesus has purposed to make abode at your house today.
Just like Zaccheaus' case when people come to hear of you experience there will be murmuring. Some people are bound to complain in fact others will point fingers at you as a reminder of your dark past. But take heart child of God, it is His son Jesus Christ who has stopped by to beckon you come. Jesus has come to where the problem you have been experiencing is. He is saying close the old book pick a new pen and book and start writing your story.
I need to remind us that Zaccheaus was so loaded with challenges that when he heard that Jesus was passing that way could not help but run to the nearest vantage point to access the master. You have tried so many methods even religion has no aided you. I have an announcement come to Jesus . Things will never be the same again.Yo know what? you might be wondering and how will it turn out?
The bible says immediately Jesus reached where Zaccheaus was, He made a stop and called out Zaccheaus, come down. In fact he said make haste and come, for today I must abide at your house today. This is the announcement I am here to make today.
You cannot write a new story without opening a new page. The invite of Jesus is very simple "hastely come down". We have to be ready to forsake the past to to be able to attract new things in life. Allow the old selfish and barbaric practices to die and come down and abide with the Lord in your own house. He declares that he will come in, dine with you and you with him. Take an example from Zaccheaus and start writing your story. This is not a story for the electronic or print media, it is the story of the heart condition.
Blessings in Jesus' name as you walk onto your new life.
