Jesus entered Jericho and was going through the city . There was a rich man named Zacchaeus , a chief tax collector . He wanted to see who Jesus was , but being small in stature , could not , because of the crowd . So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore fig tree to see him , since Jesus was coming that way . When Jesus came to the place , he looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, come down quickly I must stay at your house today . . Then he came down quickly and received him joyfully . All the people saw this and began to complain : He Stayed in the house of a sinner . But Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord : Look, Lord I give half of my possessions to the poor , and if someone extort anything, will pay back four times as much . Jesus said to him, 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 19:1-11 The Bible says that Zacchaeus wanted to see who Jesus was . You know my dear brothers have to learn to see Jesus in our lives we sometimes a lifetime talking about Jesus , teaching about Jesus , and often fail exerga it work in our lives , as the two servants on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:15,16 While talking and discussing , Jesus himself came to them , and accompanied them ; But their eyes they could not recognize. JESUS often have approached your life if u want to have noticed his presence , sometimes u have gone blind and too religious to notice JESUS, biliary speaks in Galatians 5:6 - For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision some effect , but faith working through love . So my dear you to be or not to be something, with religious status you will not see Jesus more yes you apply in your life the example he left us Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector and a wealthy older man who did not even know of their status , their social or his title of head placement , simply because he wanted to see Jesus , you know what that means seeing Jesus he wanted a life change of character behavior , a change in his soul , so this time he did not care if anyone was watching or not he wanted only one thing to draw attention to Jesus for him . For this to happen he had to break through barriers . 1 - shame or shyness , you think it was easy for a man of his social setting play his post as head of coloteres taxes to lower the placement of a person who just wanted to see who Jesus was . The Bible says in Revelation 21:8 along with an extensive list that timid will not inherit the kingdom of heaven Luke 9:26 - If anyone is ashamed of me and of my words , the Son of man be ashamed , when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels . do not be ashamed to break all see Jesus in your life operate 2 - a tree , a sycamore tree , or sycamore reached 25-40 meters high and that for someone of small stature with Zacchaeus was a huge obstacle , the more he did not care for it and climbed to see Jesus , only he knew how much he needed . The biliary says in Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me . Know that the strength of the Lord you can overcome these obstacles has put between you and Jesus . 3 - JESUS he waited to pass , Ill tell you something very important for the blessing that Jesus has for you goes through what is called a proof test of time , and is proof tests whether we really have the patience to wait that Jesus has for us or if lets put his foot in it and it fracaçarmos faith . wait for what Jesus has prepared for you , will be worth it I promise . look what it says in Psalm 40:1 the biliary - waited patiently for the Lord , and he inclined unto me , and heard my cry . if you are eager remember what the Bible says in 1 Peter 5:7 - Casting about him all your anxiety , because he cares for you . My fellow Zacchaeus could draw attention to Jesus for him and you what are you waiting equanto today were talking IT here is to you , call your attention , break these barriers that prevent you from seeing Jesus in your life , HE LOVES YOU and want not just land on your home make you want more a residence for HIM live. I thank GOD for giving me this wonderful message that God talk much about his life . GOD BLESS YOU ALL
