Zaccheus
“And, behold, there was a man named Zaccheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. And he sought to see Jesus who He was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature”
(Luke 19:2-3).
There were three things that Zaccheus could have allowed to hinder him in coming to the Lord.
His profession……….. “chief among the publicans.”
His possessions………………………….. “he was rich.”
The people………………………………….. “the press.”
There are many things that may keep someone from accepting God’s offer of salvation through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. However, we find in the story of Zaccheus an earnestness that would not let anything or anyone stand in his way. He had a desire and opportunity to meet the Lord, and he didn’t let it pass. He found out too that the Lord knew all about him and desired his blessing and company.
If you are not saved, today may be your last chance. Don’t let it pass … there may not be another one!
