1And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
3And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
4And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
5And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
He'll make everything work together for good, to them that love Him.
But it's a great thing to have fellowship. I believe it was written in the Scripture, "How sweet and pleasant it is that brethren can dwell together in unity. It's like the anointing oil that was on Aaron's beard, that run down to the hems of his garment skirts." There is something about a fellowship!
Let's get to work, and get out and get some of these other brothers and bring them in, whether full Gospel or not, and bring them into our--our meetings. And pray and do our part to strengthen the Body of Christ, and, in that, we strengthen ourself.
And He dealt with the lowest, most poorest of people. And He was rejected by the highest of societies. He was rejected by His Own, the church that ought to have known Him, but they didn't. They wasn't trained in the Word, to know Him.
See, He never does anything unless He reveals it first. He said so in the Scripture, "He does nothing, except He reveals to His servants the prophets." And He has revealed It. And This is His prophet, This is a Book of prophecy, It's the complete revelation of Jesus Christ, all the way through. Nothing to be added to, or taken from It.
Love is corrective.
There is where we fail, friends, not praying. Prayer is the keynote. "Ask and you shall receive. You have not because you ask not; you ask not because you believe not. Ask abundance, that your joys may be full. Ask and believe that you receive what you've asked for." Then hold onto it. Don't leave it. If it's a promise in the Bible, and it's been revealed to you that God is going to give it to you, hold to it.
"Where the carcase is, the eagles will be gathered." Not the chickens, the earthbound bird. The heavenly eagle will gather with the carcase.
But there is something about it, when you want to see Jesus real bad, you'll do anything.
Now, you can't love Him without loving one another.
Won't you let Him go home with you this morning? How many will take Him? Raise your hand.
