God Quote-Why Jesus Came
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in Luke 19:10.
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”
This was the mission of Jesus to seek people like Zacchaeus. He had been a dishonest tax collector who had lost his way. But his heart changed through an encounter with Jesus. As a result, he resolved to change his ways. He made this pledge to Jesus. “Look, 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.”
Acknowledging Jesus as Lord will have a life-changing impact on our lives. He will replace selfish greed with generous love. He will replace idolatry of all kinds with the truest kind of worship for Jesus. Jesus saw the change in Zacchaeus and declared, “Today salvation has come to this house.”
Luke 19:10-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
