A Slice of Infinity snippets:
Like Abraham, Zaccheus responds with faith. Abraham believed God and it was “counted as righteousness”. Abraham’s belief in God prompted action. His faith compelled him to follow God’s lead even though that meant leaving family, land, comfort, and security. In the same way, by voluntarily impoverishing himself, Zaccheus demonstrates that he too is a child of Abraham because he lives by faith--faith that demonstrates its true character in action.
Has your faith motivated you to action? Has it filled you with gratitude so that you abundantly give of your time, your talents, and your resources? Has it shown up through visible and tangible demonstrations of love and justice? Or, is faith a random, disjointed collection of ideas that make no claim on the way you live your life? As we remember the story of Zaccheus, will it be said of you and of me: "Today salvation has come to this house, for he, too, is a son of Abraham?"
