He entered Jericho

"And He entered Jericho"

The town of Jericho is an interesting place.  The Good Samaritan went from Jerusalem to Jericho in the Luke 10.  I had a co-worker, who was from Israel, and he said there was an actual road there, and many walked it from Jerusalem to Jericho.  It was a town with history as it was there where "The Walls of Jericho" fell.

God did a great miracle that day for Israel as the Old Testament tells us.  And God wanted to do a great miracle in the Jericho that day as Jesus passed through the town.  I'm talking the salvation or conversion of Zaccheus  the tax collector.  A hated and a hindered man, but he need the Lord.  He was hated because he was a tax collector as many knew he was a Jew but he worked for the Romans, the government of the day. He was also, hindered physically, as he was small or short in stature.  Yet with these things against him, he wanted find the Lord and he did. That day Jesus was coming by and he saw Zaccheus and call for him to come down for the sycamore tree.

There are many lessons here that could be taught or said, I am about to get HAPPY here just thinking about it. But the "call" was made to Zaccheus.  He obeyed the Lord and came down, accepted Jesus and both went his house. Who would have thought that Jesus would have save Zaccheus, yet in his situation, but he did and salvation came to his house. (see Luke 19) Truly a miracle that day in Jericho as it was long ago. A rich Jewish tax collector accepted Christ Jesus and went to his house and abide there.

But dear friend, God wants to do a salvation miracle in your life. He sees you and would like to abide with you. Call on Him today, for whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

God Bless you, Have a Great day !!
