Jesus seeks out Zacchaeus with deliberate grace, calling him by name before any change occurs. The encounter is personal and direct, showing that salvation starts with Jesus’ initiative.
Gospel Of Luke
Jesus contrasts two approaches to God: one based on self-righteous comparison, and the other on humble dependence.
Day 22 – Humility before God
Jesus draws a direct connection between faithfulness in small things and trustworthiness in greater matters. What appears insignificant is, in reality, a testing ground for character.
Luke Day 21 – Faithfulness
Ten are healed, yet only one returns—revealing that receiving God’s grace does not automatically produce gratitude. The difference is not in what was given, but in how it was recognised.
Luke Day 20 – Gratitude
The turning point begins when the son “comes to himself,” recognising both his condition and his need. Repentance is not just regret, but a decisive return to the Father.
Luke Day 19 – The Prodigal Son
Jesus confronts the cost of discipleship with clarity and urgency. Following Him is not an addition to life, but a reordering of it.
Luke Day 18 – Cost of Discipleship
The parable presents both urgency and patience. The absence of fruit is not ignored—it is confronted. Yet instead of immediate judgement, time is granted for change.
Luke Day 17 – Fruitfulness
Jesus addresses anxiety by redirecting attention from provision to perspective. Worry focuses on what is uncertain, but Jesus points to what is already sustained by God’s care.
Luke Day 16 – Do Not Worry
Jesus teaches His disciples that prayer is rooted in relationship, dependence, and trust. Beginning with reverence for the Father and submission to His will, He establishes a model that aligns the heart with God’s purposes.
Luke Day 15 – Prayer
Jesus shifts the focus from defining “neighbour” to demonstrating what it means to be one. The contrast is deliberate: those expected to act pass by, while the outsider responds with compassion. True love is not theoretical or selective; it is practical, costly, and immediate.
