Today, throw open the door of your heart and welcome Jesus in.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Do you remember learning in Sunday School the song, Zacchaeus Was a Wee Little Man? It’s quite something that Jesus singled out this man from an entire crowd and called him by name. Jesus went a step further and boldly invited himself to Zacchaeus’ home – he hardly gave the little man time to think twice about it! But sometimes that’s the way Jesus deals with us. He’s bold; he’s forthright. He’s frank and upfront. He invites himself into our homes, into our lives, into our hearts, all for the purpose of changing the old order of things and ushering in the new. It happened to Zacchaeus. And it can happen to you. So, if you sense the Lord is knocking – and knocking strongly on the door of your heart – don’t hesitate. Don’t second guess him. Take a hint from Zacchaeus. And throw open the door of your heart and welcome Jesus in.
