So why didnt Jesus look up into the tree at Zaccheus and tell him to go and sin no more? Why did he take the guy,considered to be worst than the worst sinner in town, and go and eat at his house? Eating at someones home,was a community validation and honor to the person of that home. That is why the Pharisees freaked! But look at the effect of Jesus being in a friendship relationship with zaccheus, he said.... If I have cheated anyone (in the original language it means, “if I have, and I have” ) I will return 2 and 1/2 times. Do you understand what that means? The entire town just hit the lottery, everyone was blessed by action of Jesus. Do you see the difference? God Loves you so much He is willing to trade His perfect sons life for yours or a log cabin republicans EVEN while they are still in sin. THAT is the good news.
May God not use the same size measuring cup of His mercy on you that you use on others.
