Infinite Blessings for all the Stemians and especially the community of Steemchurch, when I arrived at the feet of Christ 8 years ago I longed for life to be changed immediately, going through a bad time my life partner, my husband was betraying me To know this truth I saw my world collapsing I wanted everything to be a lie. Thank God I had good friends who introduced me to Christ and taught me that he could change everything, maybe that is also his desire, his expectation to know someone who can change his life, renew it, transform it.
Maybe you are tired of your life, your routine, your struggles, problems and difficulties and I would like to give you enough in all that. Would you like to live a new and fascinating life project? Then surrender your life to Jesus and move on to live the life of Christ in you!
Zacchaeus, a tax collector, wishing to know Jesus very closely, decided to climb a tree to see him and from that day his life was never the same. Zacchaeus can declare: He changed my life!
I - HE INTERESTED FOR ME
When Jesus passed through Jericho, he stopped right under the tree where Zacchaeus was, looked at him and said: "Zacchaeus, descend quickly, because it matters that I stay in your house today." That attitude touched the heart of Zacchaeus and he felt that Jesus was interested in him, cared for him and even knew his name.
Jesus cares for us, he is interested in us, not because of what we have or what we can do for him, but simply because he loves us! And that love, when it reaches our heart, we are transformed, just as it happened with Zacchaeus.
Did you know that Jesus is interested in you? Did you know that Jesus wants to transform your life? Decide quickly, get off your "tree" and receive Jesus in your life.
II - HE CAME IN MY LIFE
The fact that Jesus "entered to be the guest of a sinful man" caused a strangeness to the crowd (Lk 19: 7). On occasion Jesus declared his mission to transform and save sinners, the "sick" saying, "The healthy do not need a doctor, but the sick, I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Lk 5: 31). -32).
Upon entering the house of Zacchaeus, Jesus entered into his life, went to know him in his privacy and found there a suffering man, discriminated against by all, lonely, discouraged, a needy and needy sinner. From that meeting Zacchaeus was no longer the same, money was no longer his lord, he was abandoning his sins and was preparing to repair his mistakes (Lk 19: 8). What a huge transformation!
Jesus wants to enter into his life and transform it in a powerful way, just as he did with Zacchaeus and as he has done in the lives of thousands of Christians. But for that you need to want, allow and invite Jesus to enter your life, in your heart (Rev. 3:20). Do you want to do it now?
III - HE SAVED ME
Jesus not only operated a great transformation in the life of Zacchaeus, but he also saved him from eternal damnation, from eternal death, from final judgment, forgiving his sins.
Zacchaeus was considered lost and found, similar to the lost son of the parable told by Jesus, where that son was "dead and revived, had been lost and was found" (Luke 15:24). Zacchaeus was considered as someone of great value and importance to God, as a "son of Abraham" for whom Jesus came "to seek and to save".
We are all important to Jesus and He came to seek us, save us and transform our life. Some resist and reject Christ, but others touched by their love, acknowledge their sinfulness and accept Jesus.
The testimony of Zacchaeus speaks to us today: He transformed my life! Jesus can transform your life! Pray to God and give your life to Jesus, ask him to transform your life! Are we going to pray now?
