Luke 18:35-43; ; Luke 19:1-10

The Lord’s visit to Jericho was probably the only occasion given to these two men to meet him. In spite of the obstacles they did not miss their opportunity (cf. Luke 16:16).

Let us think about this blind man. He cannot see the Saviour as He goes past, and besides, the crowd tries to silence him; but he shouts all the more loudly and obtains an answer to his faith. As for Zacchaeus, his small stature and the same crowd pressing round the Lord Jesus, both prevent him from seeing Him. So he runs ahead of the procession and climbs a tree without worrying what people will say. He too overcomes his difficulties, and what a reward he receives! We can imagine his confusion and his joy in hearing himself called by name and then invited to come down quickly to welcome the Lord in his own home.

Dear friend, the Lord Jesus is passing your way again, bringing salvation (v. 9). Do not let yourself be hindered by your natural inability, nor by the forms of a false religion which, like the crowd, would stop you from seeing "Jesus, who he is", nor either out of fear of what others will think. The Master is calling you by name: "Today I must abide" in your heart. Are you going to let Him go past?
