And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. (Luke 19:5)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

The Lord's mercy can provoke repentance

Balancing grace and holiness is difficult, but necessary for Christians. Some ministries focus too much on legalism and holiness, while others focus too much on grace and ignore holiness. Jesus models the perfect balance between the two, as seen in his interactions with the adulterous woman and Zacchaeus. We should strive to show mercy and sympathy to those who sin, while also maintaining holiness as an important value in the Christian life. This approach will lead to more effective evangelism and healthier churches. Read more...

Comments:

Julio Ardura López : Powerful word, that is with love and mercy is the best way to restore sinners with the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, yesterday a couple, the wife asked me to talk to her husband, because he was isolated and had problems with alcohol. Precisely I was an alcoholic, and who better with the help of God, was a beautiful restoration to the point that one day they invited me to eat at their house. Like the case of Zacchaeus. God bless you in everything Amen
