The Importance of Friendship

Luke 19: 1-10

Rev. Johnny Wong

   

1) People are looking for friends.

² A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. ³ He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. ⁴ So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. ~Luke 19: 2-4

  

2) Let’s make intentional efforts to reach out and be a friend to others.

⁵ When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today. ⁶ So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. ~Luke 19: 5-6

⁹ Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. ¹⁰ For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost. ~Luke 19: 9-10
