THE TASK OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

1. The Task of the Lord Jesus was illustrated again and again.

2. Yet, so many still could not see or appreciate what He came to do.

3. The story of how Zacchaeus found salvation wonderfully illustrates the task of the Lord.

THE SALVATION THAT ZACCHAEUS FOUND

“But when they saw it, they all complained, saying, ‘He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.’ Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, ‘Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.’”

Luke 19:7-10

1. The Complaints of the people

a. They saw how the Lord Jesus had invited Himself to the home of Zacchaeus.
b. They saw the chief tax collector as “a sinner”.
c. They had virtually written him off as beyond redemption.
d. They were so wrong!

2. Expressions of True Salvation

a. Without the Lord Jesus saying much to him, he made the following statements!
i. He would give half of his wealth to the poor!
ii. If anyone can make a claim against him of cheating by false accusation, he would repay him fourfold!
b. There was a Rich Ruler who could not part with his riches.
c. Here was a tax collector who was giving without being asked!

THE ASTUTE COMMENTS OF THE LORD JESUS

1. Salvation

a. Truly Zacchaeus had found salvation.
b. He was no longer serving Mammon.
c. He was going to serve God now.

2. Son of Abraham

a. Abraham was imputed with righteousness because of his faith in God.
b. Zacchaeus had now found faith too,
c. He was now a true “son of Abraham”.

3. The Task of the Lord Jesus was clearly illustrated.

a. He had come to seek and to save the lost.
b. He had come to see and save the lost soul of Zacchaeus.
c. His soul was worth saving! Every soul is precious!

“众人看见，都私下议论说：“他竟到罪人家里去住宿！”撒该站着对主说：“主啊，我把所有的一半给穷人，我若讹诈了谁，就还他四倍。”耶稣说：“今天救恩到了这家，因为他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。人子来，为要寻找、拯救失丧的人。”
