Luke 19:1-27
Zacchaeus was seeking to see who Jesus was. He was small stature, so he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him.
Jesus be the guest of a man who is a sinner, people grumbled.
Zacchaeus confessed his sins if he has done, he restores it fourfold.
The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
Zacchaeus is chief collector for the area, unlike Mathew, who was simply a local collector. But both were social outcasts because of their job.
Zacchaeus has made himself a fat living by adding a rake-off to the Roman taxes he was responsible for collecting - flexing his own people for personal advantage. But, like tax collector Matthew and unlike the 'rich ruler', Zacchaeus does not allow his wealth to become an obstacle.
Jesus doesn't care people grumbled, He does the right things.
Everyone who has, more will be given, but from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.
This story is similar to the parable of the talents in Matthew, though here each is loaned the same modest sum. Jesus like the 'nobleman', is about to leave his people for a time. In his absence they must faithfully carry out the work given them to do. When nobleman returns with authority, to call his servants to account and to execute summary judgment on his enemies.
Son of Abraham: Not simply a Jew, but one whose faith shows him to be a true descendant.
Why?
Salvation comes to who accepts it, no matter to what position is or procession have. Gospel is for everyone.
A Mina is about hundred day wage of a worker.
He who doesn't care the salvation of others has nothing and what he has will lost either. The faith and the blessing will be lost.
Who is the good servant?
How?
I have not doing the gospel preaching a while, it is the calling from the Lord, I shall to carry out the work that God wants me to do.
