VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: No Willful Ignorance For Zacchaeus!

Willful Ignorance 
Is 
Exceedingly Dangerous

Because

It Is Particularly "Useful"

To Those Who Choose Not To Accept

The Available Facts That 
Would Make Them Wise

Would Make Them Have To Change Their Lives

Would Deny Self Any Ascendancy
And

Would Make Them Have To Use

The Walk-Away-From-Sin Card

Freely Available To Me And To Thee!

Zacchaeus Was Called A Crook:
Nobody Ever Called Him Stupid!
He Had An Unsatisfied Yearning Inside
And
News On The Dusty Road
Spoke Compellingly Of The Teacher
Who Offered Comfort, Relief, Release
From The Machinations Of Old Satan
Who Ever Enslaves And Unremittingly Lies!

Willful Ignorance 
Is 
A Favored Tactic Of Satan!

It Manifested In Him ... He Looked In, Not Up
And 
It Does Yoeman Work For Him

And

He Rabidly Desires A Myriad Others

To Positively Negatively Profit From It:

He Can't Go Back Home

Because 
He Chose Not To Keep His Appointed Place

And

As Many Persons As It's Possible To Deceive

He Desires To Have Share 
In His Earned, Eternal, Disgrace!

Zacchaeus Wanted To See This Jesus For Himself
And
Hear Him Face To Face!

Satan Needs Shame-Bush 
Because 
He Has No Shame-Face
So Do Not Let Yourself Be Deceived By Him
To Then Share In His Prescribed Fate
In The Fire And Brimstone Lake!

No Matter What He Peddles, Satan Is No Savior!

Satan Is The Condemned Fake!

We Should All Be As Wise As Wee Zacchaeus! 

Consider This ...

Zacchaeus Was A Known And Notorious Sinner 
- Ill-Gotten Gain Was Not His Only Sin -
Who Desired To See Jesus Christ 

So He Put Himself In An Unenviable Position 
To See 

And 

Be Seen By Jesus
The Teacher Of Righteousness
Sent By Almighty God! 

The Lord Is Aware ...

Jesus Christ ... Almighty God Made Flesh
Saw Zacchaeus In His Real, Recognized, Revealed, Need 

And 

In Pitying Love 

Jesus Christ ... Immanuel ... Almighty God With Us 

Gave Unto Zacchaeus His Best Gift
The Gift Of His Holy Presence 
In His Home ... His Heart!

Zacchaeus Readily Embraced The Invitation!

Amazing Grace ...

Zacchaeus Slept The Sleep Of The Just That Night!
He Had Found The Answer!
He Confessed And Repented Of His Known Sin!
He Offered To Pay Restitution To Those He Had Harmed!
He Had Received Forgiveness!
He Is In The Way Of Salvation!
He Has Found His Peace
The Peace That Passes Human Understanding
Because
He Has Found His True Master! 
He Has Found Jesus Christ The Lord!

Open Your Eyes ...

Jesus Christ Is Abroad ... Now

Seeking To Save Us Who Are The, His, Lost Sheep ... Now

So Be Wise Unto Your Own Soul's Salvation ... Now

And

Please Place Yourself In His Path ... Now
Because 
He ... The Giver Of All Good And Perfect Gifts
Desires To Be The Welcomed Guest 
In Your Heart-House ... Today! 

Jesus Christ Is Peace

And

Glory Be To The Father

He Is Our Peace!

Get Your Peace Now!

It's Freely Available Today!
