Jesus Breaks Down Everything To Save You (Jeremiah 8:21 22; Luke 19:9 10)
What is the cost of seeking and saving the lost? In this image, Zacchaeus is up a tree and Jesus invites him down to sup with Him. Remember the verse, “I stand at the door and knock?” (Rev 3:20). Jesus won’t take no for an answer. But the price of lunch is not the cost to Zacchaeus but it is the same price Jesus pays for anyone who will eat with Him. He gets us down from our tree (illusions, fears, doubts, suspicions, unforgiveness, resentments) but then He does for us what He did for Zacchaeus. He takes our place. You see the empty tree in the photo. He becomes what we are and He dies for it on the cross. This is how He pays the price for lunch. Jesus becomes our sin…our rebellion…our hostility and pays for it with His life. And we get off, not “scott free,” but Jesus free! Join the likes of Zacchaeus! That’s what our church is, a gang of no goods make good by God.
