Luke 19:3 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree beside the road for Jesus was going to pass by. When Jesus passed by he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name...
When we come to church longing to see Jesus more than anything else, we will be like Zacchaeus. There were so many things going on that day and such a lot of confusion, yet he put his focus 100 percent on Jesus. He was focused on Jesus even before he could see him! Did you know that when you make Jesus your focus it will help others to focus on Him also. How often I am easily distracted when I really should be worshiping God. I hear someone talking, my mind begins to wander, and suddenly my focus is off of Jesus. But then there are those worshiping like Zacchaeus. They are not at all concerned with what anyone thinks about them. They only came to see Jesus. As they are looking down the road I am also drawn to look to see Him. Jesus was so excited when he saw Zacchaeus. He stopped everything else and looked up and called Him by name. Wow what an awesome opportunity Zacchaeus had. All he had hoped for was just to see Jesus, but now Jesus was also seeing him. If our thoughts and our hearts become completely focused on Jesus, He will stop, look up at us, and call our name. How precious is that moment! What a treasure it is to be face to face with Jesus!! It is a moment worth more than any other for all time...
