**SO belief carries with an action, “to do”.**
Very good observation. One that is often missed.
In today’s Gospel Zacchaeus not only heard that Christ was coming, he was looking for an answer. So, his action was to climb the tree so he might see this “Jesus” passing by.
Jesus passes by all of us every day. Are we taking the action steps to look for him as Zacchaeus did?
Zacchaeus then, was called down from the tree, (Christ’s action) and told that Jesus would eat supper as his house “today”.
What was The action of Zacchaeus? He got down quickly and received Christ graciously, promising to give away half his belongings and repay unearned income four times over. Some action step for him the CHIEF tax collector!
Jesus calls each of us TODAY; he wants to be with us at our house — our hearts — TODAY! Do we drop what we are doing and receive him graciously? What is our action step?
BTW, it’s great to see you around again!
my dear friend in Christ, thank you. i noticed that the anti-Catholic i challenged has not responded, i was so hoping for him to start tho think and reason.
