When Jesus reached the spot he looked up and spoke to him: ‘Zacchaeus, come down. Hurry, because I must stay at your house today.’ And he hurried down and welcomed him joyfully.
Lk.19:5-6
Jesus must have seen into Zacchaeus' heart, a heart yearning to come out of darkness into the wonderful light. Jesus meets him magnificently and magnanimously. Zacchaeus' response is of the same kind, magnificent, magnanimous and joyful.
I sense Jesus was just as joyful as Zacchaeus. What was lost had been found. All heaven rejoiced and Jesus would have known that. What a party!
The same party erupted spontaneously when I invited Jesus into my life. This is a good time to remember that and re-savour the moment.
Thank you Jesus for rescuing me. I continue to welcome you joyfully into my home, into my life.
