Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of
Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who
Jesus was but beng a short man he could not, because of the crowd.
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zaccahaeus,
come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." So he came down
at once and welcomed him gladly. (Luke 19:1-6)
Wow! What effort this man Zacchaeus put forth to be able to see
the Lord Jesus. By his actions he was rewarded the great privellege of dining
with the Savior!
In our Christian walk, If we are truly pushing hard to know Jesus and allowing Him
to manifest His work in our daily lives, we will see a sure promised result and reap
great rewards.
The Scripture says, "Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears
my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me."
(Revelation 3:20)
Make sure to count all the blessings God had been given you. Always giving Him praise and gratitude!
