Overcoming Barriers

Jesus took time to walk through many places to encounter people with different needs. He was not afraid to engage with individuals that were hated and treated with suspicion.

(Luke 19:1) “Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short, he could not see over the crowd.” to see him since Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, come down quickly. I must stay at your house today. So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.”

Zacchaeus made money by cheating others and he was backed by Rome so he was doubly hated. He had a desire to see Jesus but the crowds and his size would not let him. He had a physical limitation hindering him but he was also willing to look foolish in pursuit of Jesus.

Zacchaeus had a heart for God but needed an encounter with Jesus to change him. Jesus saw his heart and invited himself to eat with him. Zacchaeus was overjoyed and felt no shame in dining with Jesus. There is no heart so wicked, vile, or dirty that Jesus will reject.

“All the people saw this and began to mutter, He has gone to be the guest of a sinner. But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, Look, Lord! Here and now, I give half my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay

Focus: “The End Time, we are moving toward an hour as ye think not the son of man cometh.” (Matthew 24:44)

“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like unto ten virgins, which took their lamps and went forth their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all back four times the amount.”

The people were more concerned about appearances than salvation. They criticized Jesus because he ruined their expectations by saving someone they saw as unworthy. Zacchaeus evidenced repentance by making restitution and divesting himself of most of his riches.

“Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Zacchaeus became a living example of salvation producing good works which is faith with feet. He proved that he was saved by outward action not only inward belief.

those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, give us of your oil, for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, not so; lest there be not enough for us and you, but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And as they went the bridegroom came; and they, that were ready, went in with him to the marriage and the door was shut. Afterward also came the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us but he answered and said, verily I say unto you I know you not Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the son of man cometh.” (Matthew 25:1-13)

“It is important that we keep our heart right with God with oil in our vessels, and do not be like the are living in evil days distress of nations, with perplexity, and when men hearts are failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are

coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. Signs are telling us that these are the days when evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. Noah had spent many years building the ark, and he knew that the season for divine judgment was near, but he did not know the exact day. The same apply to us in this time, we have seen signs and wonders, strange things are happening all around us, but we do not know the day and time of Christ return. Therefore, let us maintain a sweet fellowship with God and prepared for the coming of our Lord and savior. Watch therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.”
