Blog of Terry Lacey As maker of all things, all things belong to God. Everything is his to claim. Zaccheaus realized he was a sinner and in need of Jesus. When Jesus stated that he wanted to stay with him, it may have been a sign to Zaccheaus that he was forgiven and he was filled with joy. In response he offered to give away half his possessions and asked for forgiveness for any acts of wrong. When a person feels true forgiveness of sins, it is freeing and Zaccheaus' reaction was that of happiness as well as having the ability to ask forgiveness of others he may have wronged. |
