LET'S LOOK FOR ZACCHAEUS !!! (LUKE 19:1-10)


I used to go from house to house looking for Zacchaeus some years back. Of course, not the one in the Bible, Jesus already found him.

I meant I went around doing Evangelism. I don't get the chance to do it on that scale owing to work and other demands now. I hope to able to return to that aspect soon or let's say in a more comprehensive manner.

What about you?...Are you looking for (your) Zacchaeus???

You are so blessed just because you have Jesus! No matter how life pins you to its elastic stretch, he has always been with you& still make this life meaningful to you.

What about that 'Zacchaeus' who is lurking around hoping to be looked for?

They're really eager to have that Jesus in their lives too.
They feel so ashamed to speak out, so unfit to belong, so weak to rise up,so veiled to see &so sinful to be saved. 

All their ruthless bravado & resentments  are all borne out of their weaknesses. Deep within, they are longing for the CHRIST to complete their lives.

Christians, what are we doing? Souls are perishing every single day? 

We may not get the time to do what Jesus did...but just a word, a POST, a lifestyle, an encounter & a purposed mind & heart to LOOK FOR that lost soul is what we need every single day. 

However,  I also believe we should come to the point where winning souls on all angles is and should be our reason for living. It should be the basis for whatever we do.

And so whether a full time minister, one with an evangelistic calling or rather importantly for me the many christians in the work world; let's see soul winning as a daily function which is pursued every moment of our lives.

"Go ye therefore..." he says in Matthew 28:19 referring to every individual who profess the name of Jesus Christ and i tell you the many of the lost Zacchaeus' are in the world of work where a lot of 'christians' also abound.

Ths simply tells us this...

'We need to live each day of our lives LOOKING FOR A LOST ZACCHAEUS for they are everywhere needing Jesus' 

SO I SAY:

'LET'S LOOK FOR ZACCHAEUS!!!'
