Jesus was just passing through the town of Jericho when He
noticed a man who wasn’t very tall, trying to get a look at Him. This man, had climbed a tree to get a good
look – and Jesus noticed him. Jesus is
always noticing people and when He notices them He engages them and brings to
them the offer of salvation. That’s how
it worked with Zacchaeus and Zacchaeus accepted.
He notices people because He is intentionally looking. He said in Luke 19:10 “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save
that which was lost."
This is why He sends us out as His Secret Agents...He is
still seeking and saving the lost.
This week, as you are just passing through the things of
your day, ask the Holy Spirit to give you eyes to notice people...people who
are trying to get a glimpse of God...to see if He’s the real thing or
not...Pull a Jesus on them and engage them right where they are and let them
see the real Jesus in you
Fall is the time of year when people return to routines and
add new ones...use this time as a Secret Agent to. take risks of invitation—inviting people to church,
LCG, events or like my friend recently did, invite them to dinner!
The story of Zacchaeus ended with his salvation and the
salvation of others. All because Jesus
noticed him. May the same be true of
those you notice this week.
