Me too!!! by Gary Rose

Nobody likes to be left out, no matter who you are. Nobody likes to be the last one chosen in baseball or volleyball or any sport you can think of. And when anyone sees see a good thing, they want "in" too.

Dog or human- no difference. Rich or poor, young or old, tall or short- again, no difference!!! And speaking of short...

Luke, Chapter 19 (WEB)

 ¹ He entered and was passing through Jericho.  ² There was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector, and he was rich.  ³ He was trying to see who Jesus was, and couldn’t because of the crowd, because he was short.  ⁴ He ran on ahead, and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was going to pass that way.  ⁵ When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and saw him, and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.”   ⁶ He hurried, came down, and received him joyfully.  ⁷ When they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone in to lodge with a man who is a sinner.” 

  ⁸ Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.” 

  ⁹ Jesus said to him, “Today, salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham.   ¹⁰  For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

Zacchaeus was a hated man- he was a chief tax collector! He was hated by the Jews because many tax collectors (who worked for the Roman occupiers) were corrupt. Verse 8 above shows he was an honest man. Jesus saw value in him and blessed him because his mission was "to seek and to save that which was lost."

This is the point where I tell you to come to Jesus for salvation. You probably already know that, but its worth saying - again and again!!  You and I may have more than a little wrong with us, but God is still seeking us out to bless us. Climb a tree, squeeze through a hole, search in any way you want to, but seek God while you still have time!!! 

And, Oh yes- relax, there is always room for one more!!! God has a way of making opportunities for those whose heart is in the right place!!!!
