8 Then Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; [...]

I am the bread of life.- John 6:48 (NKJV) The bread that Jesus spoke of was Himself. He had a rare experience in John 6:22-38 where people asked questions and didn’t receive the answers to their questions too favorably.

In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away! – Luke 15:7 (NLT) In the Kingdom of God, the lost that our found have a great worth. Jesus tries to dispense the idea [...]
