Update on "Zacchaeus" (3)

A few weeks ago, we shared an experience (see Nov. 28) in a coastal city on the first night of an evangelistic revival. As I struggled whether or not to preach on Zacchaeus – and right after I finally decided to try to obey God – "Zacchaeus" walked in.

The greatest gift imaginable – the greatest gift that could ever be given – was the life and blood of the Son of God. No, not a second "Person" of God, but Jehovah God Himself, in a human body which He fathered in Mary's womb. "Immanuel" – God With Us!

Just Wait...

Our job is to make sure it gets to his intended recipients.” ― Randy Alcorn, Money, Possessions and Eternity
