3. Jesus came to save sinners!

4. Luke 19:1-10

5. Jesus came to save sinners!

6. What did Zacchaeus do to receive the salvation Jesus was offering?

7.  Zacchaeus made Jesus a priority.  He kept seeking Jesus.  Jesus must be a priority. “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness” (Matt 6:33). After the Resurrection, Jesus asks Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” (Jn 21:15). “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You” (Jn 21:15). How would you honestly answer that question?

8.  Making Jesus a priority:  Examine your own life to see what keeps you from making Jesus a priority.  Spend time this week making Jesus a priority. Spend at least a half hour each day in prayer and Bible study. Be here when the church meets.

9.  Zacchaeus made an effort to get to Jesus.  He had to climb a tree in order to find Jesus.  Is there effort you need to put forth to come to Jesus?

10.  Zacchaeus made things right.  Repentance always involves putting things as right as we can. “Bear fruits worthy of repentance” (Matt 3:8). Matt 5:23-24.  Make your wrongs right this week.

11.  Jesus is more than happy to save you this morning.  “In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Eph 1:7).  There is only one way to get into Christ where Jesus’ blood forgives sin. “As many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ” (Gal 3:27). Do you need to be baptized into Christ this morning?
