His Presense -- Luke 19

Luke 19 tells the story of Zacchaeus, a wealth tax collector who was marginalized by society. Tax collectors, known for cheating people to gain wealth, were seen as sinners and not really liked by anyone. Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector. Jesus, of course, likes to hang out in the margines with the out cast and the sinners, as he says in this passage he says, "The son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."

So Jesus asks if he can come stay at Zacchaeus' house. What an honor. Jesus honored this man who nobody liked with his presense. I think one of the best ways to honor someone is just to spend time with them.

What a gift it would be to find people that society has marginalized and just spend some time with them, and ask to hang out with them. It made all the difference in Zacchaeus' life.
