Scripture: When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” Luke 19:5 NIV Application: How seldom the world takes interest in others for who they are. This social media generation has aspired to become "influencers," i.e. to have thousands of people follow you so that you can lead them to merchandizers to exploit them. But we Christians can take genuine interest in these exploited people. There is a hollowness in them. This is like Zacchaeus, who climbed that tree ("liked" it!) because he knew he needed something, despite his wealth. Taking genuine interest in peoples' condition, as Jesus did, helps fill that hollowness. That's the only "influencer" role we should play. Prayer: We want hearts that truly reflect Your love for people Lord Jesus. Amen. Comments are closed.
