Todayโs worship service reminded us of the story of Zacchaeusโa man who was rejected by many, yet personally noticed and called by Jesus. Despite his past and imperfections, his desire to see Jesus opened the door for transformation and salvation.
Just like Zacchaeus, we may sometimes feel unworthy, distant, or burdened by our mistakes. But the love of Jesus reaches beyond our past. He sees every heart that genuinely seeks Him and offers grace, forgiveness, and a new beginning.
May we never allow shame, fear, or the opinions of others to stop us from coming closer to Christ. One encounter with Jesus can completely change a life.
We thank God for using Pastor A***n Caรฑete to share His Word and remind us that salvation is available to all who are willing to receive Him.

โJesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, โZacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.โ So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. All the people saw this and began to mutter, โHe has gone to be the guest of a sinner.โ But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, โLook, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.โ Jesus said to him, โToday salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.โโ
