THE GREAT TAX COLLECTOR- ZACCHAEUS

Long time back in Jericho; Two thousand years ago

Lived a man whose Zacchaeus was name;

Who was rich had status and fame.

Still he lacked peace in his family;

Neither was there love nor joy or unity.

To see Jesus was his plan; but he was a short little man

So he ran ahead to see, and climbed a Sycamore tree.

To see Jesus was his desire;

Burning in him like a jungle fire.

When Jesus reached below the tree there;

He lifted his head and gave a loving stare;

And said to him, “Hurry down!”

For his house was chosen in that town.

For He should stay there that day

To show Zacchaeus the Salvation way.

The people around began to grumble,

But from Father’s will, Jesus did not stumble;

For Zacchaeus was proof for man;

To see God’s love for the sinner clan.

Zacchaeus stood and said to Christ:

“Sir, I’ll return the robbed rights;

To poor I’ll give half my belongings;

To pay back the ones I’m longing.”

Jesus smiled and stood up to say:

“Salvation has come to this house today.”

By giving everything when he did surrender;

Jesus gave peace and threw his sins never to remember;

For the Son of Man came to seek

To save the lost, the humble and the meek.

(Luke 19:1-9)

May the Lord bless you and take care of you. May He be kind and gracious to you. May the Lord look on you with favor and give you peace.

With love filled blessings,
