Desire and decision
What made Zacchaeus experience Jesus? It is his desire and decision. He had deep desire to see Jesus. He might have heard about Jesus who was considered as a miracle worker and a healer, going around his place. He listened to his heart’s desire to see Jesus.
The desire led him to a strong decision to act in that particular situation, to run and to climb upon a tree, so that he would never miss Jesus. His decision was the result of his desire. He took the right decision at the right time. The result was he could see Jesus from the top, from the branch of the tree. The rest of the actions are initiated by Jesus and as a result Zacchaeus received salvation of God.
We desire to see and experience Jesus. But we feel the lack of strong decision in our life, to pray, to good things and to obey the commandments of the Lord. We often postpone good things. Let us remember that Jesus is passing through our life. Those how does what is right at the right time will receive the reward.
