| The Chess Game by Sofonisba Angussiola Museo Narodowe, Poznan (Poland) |
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
Jesus is interested in all people, no matter what other people might think. We too can be interested in everyone we come to meet in a daily lives. Why not? In that moment I am interested in them. What do they value? What excites them? What brings them joy?
I chose Sofonisba's painting today because it always interests me. It is a rich story, and we all have a rich story to tell.
PRAYER: May I see people around me just as you do.
