"Zacchaeus received Jesus with joy." (Luke 19: 6 RM)
What a gracious act. Zac was short and because he wanted to see Jesus so badly and the crowd around Jesus was huge, Zac climbed a tall tree. No problem for Jesus. He knew where Zac was. "Come down Zac. This is your day. I am going to have dinner with you." Zac hurried down and "received Jesus with joy." (Luke 19: 5)
Some of us have the opportunity to receive Jesus frequently in Holy Communion or in His word. Do you receive Him with joy? "Today salvation has come to this house." (Luke 19: 9) What a mighty reward for Zac and his family.
Do not let your heart grow lukewarm. Pray for the grace of joy and enthusiasm.
