Jesus came to save sinners!

Luke 19:1-10

Jesus came to save sinners!

What did Zacchaeus do to receive the salvation Jesus was offering?

Zacchaeus made Jesus a priority. He kept seeking Jesus. Jesus must be a priority.

“Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matt 6:33).

After the Resurrection, Jesus asks Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” (Jn 21:15).

“Yes, Lord; You know that I love You” (Jn 21:15). How would you honestly answer that question?

Making Jesus a priority: Examine your own life to see what keeps you

from making Jesus a priority. Spend time this week making Jesus a priority.

Spend at least a half hour each day in prayer and Bible study.

Be here when the church meets.

Zacchaeus made an effort to get to Jesus. He had to climb a tree in order to find Jesus. Is there effort you need to put forth to come to

Jesus?

Zacchaeus made things right. Repentance always involves putting things as

right as we can. “Bear fruits worthy of repentance” (Matt 3:8). Matt 5:23-24.

Make your wrongs right this week.

Jesus is more than happy to save you this morning. “In Him we have redemption through His blood,

the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph 1:7).

There is only one way to get into Christ where Jesus’ blood forgives sin. “As many of you as were baptized into Christ have

put on Christ” (Gal 3:27). Do you need to be baptized into Christ this morning?
