3. HOW
HIGH?
19 Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man
was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax
collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was,
but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4
So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him,
since Jesus was coming that way.
5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him,
“Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your
house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him
gladly.
7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to
be the guest of a sinner.”
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord!
Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if
I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four
times the amount.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house,
because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of
Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
LUKE 19:1-10
4. HOW
LOW?
Luke 7:36 One of the Pharisees
asked Jesus to have dinner with
him, so Jesus went to his home
and sat down to eat. 37 When a
certain immoral woman from
that city heard he was eating
there, she brought a beautiful
alabaster jar filled with
expensive perfume. 38 Then she
knelt behind him at his feet,
weeping. Her tears fell on his
feet, and she wiped them off
with her hair. Then she kept
kissing his feet and putting
perfume on them.
5. HOW
LOUD?
Mark 10:46 Jesus and his disciples went to Jericho. And
as they were leaving, they were followed by a large
crowd. A blind beggar by the name of Bartimaeus son
of Timaeus was sitting beside the road. 47 When he
heard that it was Jesus from Nazareth, he shouted,
“Jesus, Son of David,[a] have pity on me!” 48 Many
people told the man to stop, but he shouted even
louder, “Son of David, have pity on me!”
49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him over!”
They called out to the blind man and said, “Don’t be
afraid! Come on! He is calling for you.” 50 The man
threw off his coat as he jumped up and ran to Jesus.
51 Jesus asked, “What do you want me to do for you?”
The blind man answered, “Master, I want to see!”
52 Jesus told him, “You may go. Your eyes are healed
because of your faith.” Right away the man could see,
and he went down the road with Jesus.
6. HOW
DESPERATE?
Luke 8:43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all
her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her
issue of blood stanched.
45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with
him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who
touched me?
46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out
of me.
47 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling
down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she
had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee
whole; go in peace.
8. IF A MAN DOES NOT KEEP PACE WITH
HIS COMPANIONS, PERHAPS IT IS
BECAUSE HE HEARS A DIFFERENT
DRUMMER. LET HIM STEP TO THE
MUSIC WHICH HE HEARS, HOWEVER
MEASURED OR FAR AWAY.
