52: Living with Purpose – Did Jesus Have a Life Purpose? Part 1

Luke 19:1-2 (NLT)
1 Jesus entered Jericho and made his way through the town.  2 There was a man there named Zacchaeus. He was the chief tax collector in the region, and he had become very rich.

Luke 19:3-4 (NLT)
3 He tried to get a look at Jesus, but he was too short to see over the crowd.  4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road, for Jesus was going to pass that way.

Luke 19:5-7 (NLT)
5 When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name.  “Zacchaeus!” he said.  “Quick, come down!  I must be a guest in your home today.”  6 Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy.  7 But the people were displeased.  “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled.

Luke 19:8 (NLT)
8 Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!”

Luke 19:9 (NLT)
9 Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham.”

Luke 19:10 (NLT)
10 “For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”
