"Today salvation has come to this house." I wonder how that made Zacchaeus feel as these words came from the mouth of the Savior (Luke 19:9)? As a cheating/extorting tax collector, Zacchaeus may have never thought about it: salvation, that is. It appears he knew the difference between right and wrong as he alludes to his, "cheating" of people. He new it was wrong. Maybe he thought that was just the way things went. But then something happened. Someone came to his house.
The Savior came to his house. Following right behind the Savior, right on His heals, was salvation. The Savior came, salvation came and, for that time and place, the ministry of the Savior was accomplished as the last verse in the text says, "For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost (v.10).
A lot to think about, here, but has Jesus been to my house and did He leave behind salvation? Have I allowed Him to fulfill His ministry in me and my household?
Be Strong and Courageous,
L.T.
