Please save the bottom of your receipt that says “Kids 2020” and put it in the box in the entrance to the church. It’s not the whole receipt that we need, only the bottom that gives a total and says “KIDS 2020”

Worship In an amusing ac-count, Luke tells the story of Zac-chaeus, a well-known tax collec-tor, short in stature, who climbs a tree in his excitement to catch a glimpse of Jesus passing through Jericho on

his way to Jerusalem. His loss of dignity must have been amusing to the crowds. As Jesus passes by, he looks up and says to Zacchaeus, “Come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.” Zac-chaeus welcomes Jesus with joy. This encounter transforms Zacchaeus and he promises to give away half his posses-sions to the poor and to pay restitution to anyone he harmed. Jesus accepts Zac-chaeus’ faith, saying, “Today salvation has come to this house because this man too is a descendant of Abraham.”

Every encounter with Jesus brings with it the challenge to make a free decision. Zacchaeus seizes the moment and his encounter with Jesus changes his life. His experience also demonstrates the true attitude toward wealth: to give away one’s surplus to those in need and not to defraud another of what is rightfully theirs. Zacchaeus’ ability to change his way of life is an example of how Abra-ham’s descendants are to act. He is among those who are true heirs to God’s promises in the Old Testament. (Excerpts taken from At Home with the Word.)

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP

The Enthusiastic Steward

Have you ever been at a concert and rushed the stage to get closer to your favorite act? Has your favorite sports team won a championship, and you just wanted to celebrate for hours? For those of us who are parents, have you ever gone to great lengths to get the perfect photo at a first Communion, graduation, or some other ceremony in which your child was involved?

When moments in our life are filled with enthusiasm, we can find ourselves overwhelmed and doing things we might not normally do. I bet Zacchaeus didn’t have a regular habit of climbing trees. However, he climbed one so he could see Jesus more clearly. His enthu-siasm led him up a tree, an action he probably would not normally do.

Following Jesus Christ is not easy in this world of ours. Trying to do it without feeling any enthusiasm makes it doubly difficult. Enthusiasm is something that can be grown, but we must be the ones who foster it. When we see the fruits of our steward-ship, enthusiasm grows. When we spend time in prayer and in God’s Word getting to know Jesus better, enthusi-asm grows. When we work to make Jesus the most important person in our life, enthusiasm grows. If we find our-selves too often with our feet on the ground and growing in apathy, perhaps it is time to do what it takes to bring on that desire to climb a tree.
