Jesus Pursues

Esther 9-10; Luke 19 

“…’Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.’…’Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.’”

Luke 19:5, 9, 10

Jesus called the disliked Zacchaeus out of a tree and pursued time with him.

Does Jesus still pursue people today through the Holy Spirit?

Have we ever felt called out by name by the Lord?

The mission of Jesus is still to make disciples out of people like Zacchaeus, and you, and me. When we offer our lives to him as his disciples, we too, join his mission of pursuing lost people. Zacchaeus was one of the wealthiest people in Jericho. Jesus is pursuing people from every part of society, who realize they are empty inside and were created for something more. Jesus is the only one who can bring salvation and freedom from the power of guilt, shame, fear, and sin in our lives.

Has salvation come to our house yet?

What about those around us?

“Lord Jesus, guide me to those seeking life and salvation around me, for your glory.”
