Today we are looking at “Going The Extra Mile.” What made Jesus take special interest in Zacchaeus? Out of all the people around him, how was he able to distinguish Zaccheus out?

The bible says there was a large crowd gathering to see Jesus. Jesus could have picked out anyone from the crowd and passed his message.

As a matter of fact, Zacchaeus was not the only tax collector in the region at that point in time.

So what really attracted him to the saviour?

Zacchaeus went an extra mile.
Oh yes, he did.

Luke 19:4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

He looked beyond his height and refused to be discouraged.
He climbed a tree, all in a bid to see the saviour.

Dear children, be like Zacchaeus. Go the extra mile. Don’t settle for less.
Don’t be mediocre in your approach to life, your academic pursuit and everything you find yourself doing.

Strive to be the best and God will send for you, Amen.

Prayer:
Lord, help me to make amends where necessary.

Action Point:
Are there areas you need to make restitutions? List them out.

Declaration:
I am living for Jesus so I do things right!
