  1. Jesus Saves a Rich Tax Collector Presented by Bob DeWaay Gospel of Grace Fellowship February 1, 2015 Luke 19:1-10

  2. Context: A Blind Beggar Finds Salvation Luke 18:38, 39 (NASB) And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” • See Psalm 91:14-16 • See Psalm 50:15

  3. Context: A Blind Beggar Finds Salvation Luke 18:41, 42 (NRSV) “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me see again.” Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has saved you.” • See Isaiah 29:18 • See Psalm 146:8

  4. A Rich Oppressor Luke 19:1, 2 (NASB) He entered Jericho and was passing through. And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich. • Jesus did not stop in Jericho, the blind man was healed on the way in, the tax collector saved on the way out. • The blind beggar and the rich tax collector were opposite in many ways but both lacked social status.

  5. Chiastic Structure of Zaccheus Narrative 1 Jesus enters 2 Zaccheus 3 The Crowd 4 Up the tree 5 Unexpected love 4’ Down the tree 3’ The Crowd 2’ Zaccheus 1’ Jesus’ final word of love (Kenneth Bailey)

  6. Like the Blind Man, There Are Obstacles Luke 19:3, 4 (ESV) And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. • The blind man was also wanting to see Jesus • In Vs 10 Jesus “seeks” to save the lost • Small in Stature could imply “diminutive status” • It was shameful for an adult male to climb a tree • This tree had dense foliage and would hide him

  7. Jesus Sought Zaccheus Luke 19:5, 6 (NASB) When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, “Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” And he hurried and came down and received Him gladly. • “Must” is deiwhich denotes “divine necessity” in Luke/Acts • Like the blind beggar, Jesus calls him to Himself • “Gladly” means “with joy” or “rejoicing” • Bailey thinks the townspeople saw him first and were mocking Zaccheus,

  8. They “Grumble” Against Jesus Luke 19:7 (NASB) When they saw it, they all began to grumble, saying, “He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” • “Grumble” is also found in Luke 5:30 and Luke 15:2 • The same term for “grumble” is found in the LXX of Exodus 16:2 • See also: John 6:41; John 7:12; John 6:61

  9. Zaccheus Shows Fruits of Repentance Luke 19:8 (ESV) And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold” • See Luke 3:12, 13 • Fruits of repentance: Luke 3:8

  10. Zaccheus Receives Messianic Salvation Luke 19:9, 10 (NASB) And Jesus said to him, “Todaysalvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” • Another person of low status finds salvation • It is God who seeks to save the lost: Ezekiel 34:11, 12; Luke 15:4-32 • “Son of Abraham” means “of the qualities of Abraham” • “Today” is often linked to the day of salvation: Heb. 4:7; and see Luke 19:5; Luke 23:43
