Luke 19:8-9
“Zacchaeus stood, and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor. If I have wrongfully exacted anything of anyone, I restore four times as much.” Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he is also a son of Abraham.””
This passage describes Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector, encountering Jesus in Jericho. Tax collectors were often wealthy and disliked due to their practice of over-collecting and keeping the surplus for themselves. His declaration to Jesus comes after Jesus invites himself to Zacchaeus's home, despite public disapproval.
What does a sincere commitment to making amends look like in our own lives today?
