How would you feel if the CEO of your company suddenly dropped by your workplace? Would you quickly try to clean up your work area? Would you wonder if you were getting fired? Ask for a raise?

Jesus did something similar with Zacchaeus in the story we read in Luke 19. He knew about the reputation of the chief of tax collectors in Jericho. Zacchaeus was despised even by others in his profession. Yet Jesus saw beyond the greed of sinful human flesh to a soul longing for refreshing.

Jesus saw the beautiful human soul inside of Zacchaeus. Jesus went to his house to save him and his family.

Do you ever feel that your character might be a little dirty for Jesus?

He loves you as you are, but wants to help you be better. He wants to transform the house of your heart with His love. Invite him in; let Jesus be a houseguest today!
