Jesus knows your name

Luke 19:5
When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name.  "Zacchaeus!" he said.  "Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today!" NLT

Must?  Yes. Must. These are the people Jesus wanted to meet in order that He could change hearts. 

You think you can outsin the love and forgiveness and grace of God? You cannot. You do not have the capacity! 
Amen!!


He called him by his name. He was used to being called "sinner" he was used to being called what he did wrong. Jesus calls him his name, which means pure. He was calling him who Jesus intended him to be, who he was with Jesus. Who he was as Jesus saw him. 


I will not judge you for the reasons you need Jesus. I need Jesus for my own reasons. No one needs Him more and no one needs Him less.
