Luke 19:1-48
Jesus
was on His way to Jerusalem (9:51; 13:22; 17:11), the place where He
would be crucified for the world’s salvation. ‘Passing through’ Jericho,
He brought ‘salvation’ to Zacchaeus (1, 9). ‘Near to Jerusalem’, He
spoke about service (11-27). Jesus is our Saviour - He came ‘to save
us’(10). He is also our Lord - He wants to ‘reign over’ us (27).
‘Salvation has come to us (9). As ‘good servants’, let us be ‘faithful’
to our Lord (17). Jesus was ‘going up to Jerusalem’(28). The Cross was
the high point, the place of His triumph (Colossians 2:15). Seeing ‘the
city’, Jesus ‘wept over it’(41). He taught the Word of God in the House
of God. Some were ‘eager to hear Him’. Others were ‘seeking to destroy
Him’(47-48). What about you? Does Jesus weep over you? He wants to
rejoice over you (15:7,10).
