Christ is the salvation that comes, and Zacchaeus is the house to which He comes.
-Bishop Nikolai Velimirovic, Prolog, 4 February
Each of us, my brethren, is a house in which sin dwells while Christ is afar off, and to which salvation comes as Christ draws near. Whether Christ is able or not to draw near to my house and yours depends on us.
-Bishop Nikolai Velimirovic, Prolog, 4 February
Little Zacchaeus had climbed up into a tree, to see the Lord Jesus with his own eyes. He had sought Him, desired Him. And we must seek Him in order to find Him, and desire that He draw near to us, and climb up high in spirit to meet His glance. Then He will visit our house as He visited the house of Zacchaeus, and bring salvation with Him.
