Today's Focus Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
Luke 19:1-10
1 He entered Jericho and was
passing through.
2 And there was a man called
by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.
3 Zaccheus was trying to see
who Jesus was, and was unable because of the crowd, for he was small in
stature.
4 So he ran on ahead and
climbed up into a sycamore tree in order to see Him, for He was about to pass
through that way.
5 When Jesus came to the
place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry
and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”
6 And he hurried and came
down and received Him gladly.
7 When they saw it, they all
began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a
sinner.”
8 Zaccheus stopped and said
to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and
if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much.”
9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is
a son of Abraham.
10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
