People are obligated to give tax to Caesar because it is owed to him. More importantly, however, they are obligated to give God everything.

God is endlessly patient, but His patience is not permission. This isn’t just a story. It’s God’s own heartbreak over a world that keeps silencing His voice and rejecting His grace. Yet even in rejection, God is not defeated. The Son who was cast out becomes the cornerstone of a new creation.

Fear of man and love of power will always blind us to truth. Jesus calls us to humility and submission—and sometimes that involves admitting we’re wrong.

Jesus cleansed the temple not just to drive out corruption, but to restore its purpose: worship for all nations.

God’s visitation isn’t just history—it’s present. Jesus still draws near to save,

convict, and heal. Don’t wait. Don’t harden your heart. Don’t be like the

crowds who cheered on Sunday and crucified Him on Friday. Surrender to Him fully today.

Zacchaeus may have been a “wee little man,” but Jesus is not a “wee

little Savior.” And this story is not just about a man in a tree. It’s about every one of us. Like blind Bartimaeus before him, we are all unable to see Jesus on our own. But Christ comes to us, calls us by name, enters our lives, and changes us forever. Will you receive Him with joy today?

Saving faith is serving faith. We are saved to serve. Are you?

Jesus walked knowingly into His suffering because He walked obediently into the Father’s will. The cross was never a surprise to Jesus. It was His mission. It’s the reason he came.

The Christian life must be lived by grace and in the power of the Holy Spirit because there are impossible challenges in it.
