Matthew 10:42
And anyone who gives one of these little details of a glass of cold water only, because he is a disciple, I tell you the truth that he won't lose his reward.
Today there are people, who only live pending the riches that the world gives, not knowing that the true happiness and true riches is given by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, this is a passage that fills me with much satisfaction
Luke 19: 1-10
1 When Jesus entered Jericho, he passed through the city.
2 And a man named Zacchaeus, who was chief of the tax collectors and was rich,
3 patients to see who Jesus was; but he could not cause the crowd, since he was of small stature.
4 And running ahead, he climbed into a sycamore tree to see him, because Jesus was at a point to pass by.
5 When Jesus arrived at the place, he looked up and said: Zacchaeus, hurry up and descend, because today I must stay at your house.
6 Then he hastened down and received him with joy.
7 And when they saw this, they all murmured, saying: He has gone to stay with a sinful man.
8 And Zacchaeus, standing up, said to the Lord: Behold, Lord, half of my goods, to give to the poor, and if in anything let anyone down, I will restore it fourfold.
9 And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, since he is also the son of Abraham;
10 because the Son of Man has come to seek and save what he had lost.
Zacchaeus was in charge of the tax collectors in the city of Jericho who learned that Jesus was passing through the city through the city among the entire crowd. Zacchaeus being a man of short stature walked through the crowd but could not see Jesus so he hurried up a tree so he could see the Lord. As he passed through the tree, Jesus saw a scaled zacchaeus among the branches and said: "Zacchaeus, hurry up and descend from the tree because it is necessary for me to stay at your house today." Upon hearing the words of Jesus, Zacchaeus hurried and full of joy, he took Jesus to his home, but when he saw this, people murmured since Jesus was going to stay in the house of a sinner.
Upon arriving at the house, Zacchaeus told Jesus: "Half of my goods will be given to the poor, and if someone disappointed I will pay them four times more." These actions of Zacchaeus reveal the repentance and genuine faith of Zacchaeus since he realized the evil he had committed, but not being that enough Zacchaeus also had the responsibility to take responsibility for his actions and repair the damage he had committed. Its history is a sample of the transformation that the Gospel can bring to the hearts of people a transformation that seeks to do good.
After all this, Jesus announces that salvation has come to the house of Zacchaeus, who is outside a descendant of Abraham. This act indicates that with God all things are possible, and even a rich man can be saved by God and change his actions.
As we can change in an exceptional way and give everything we have a change to be close to the teacher, this man did not prevent him from being short, faith moved him, he changed his goal that was to be at the right time and at the time exact to achieve mercy, gave to the poor and amending everything.
