6<\/strong>. joyfully<\/em> ] This public honour done by the Messiah to one so despised by all classes of his countrymen, ennobled him with a new feeling of happiness and self-respect.<\/p>\n Verse 6<\/span>. Received him joyfully.<\/B><\/I>] He had now seen<\/I> WHO he was, and he wished to hear<\/I> WHAT he was; and therefore he rejoiced in the honour that God had now conferred upon him. How often does Christ make the proposal of lodging, not only in our house, but in our heart, without its being accepted! We lose much because we do not attend to the visitations<\/I> of Christ: he passes by <\/I>– he blesses our neighbours and our friends; but, often, neither curiosity nor any other motive is sufficient to induce us<\/I> to go even to the house of God, to hear of the miracles of mercy which he works in behalf of those who seek him.<\/P><\/p>\n Curiosity carried Zacchaeus up, but love to Christ bringeth him down; he therefore makes haste to come down, and he receiveth Christ joyfully, glad to entertain such a guest. When Christ cometh to any soul, he never brings any sorrow to it, nor any thing but glad tidings. <\/P> <\/p>\n 6. joyfully<\/B>Whence this sosudden “joy” in the cold bosom of an avaricious publican?The internal revolution was as perfect as instantaneous. “Hespake and it was done.” “Then shall the lame man leap as anhart, and the tongue of the dumb sing” (Isa35:6<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n And he made haste<\/strong>,…. Such power went along with the words of Christ, that they immediately reached his heart, awakened his conscience, affected his mind, and drew his soul to Christ, and knit him to him, that be made all imaginable haste to be with him. So souls sensible of their dangerous state and condition by nature, and apprehensive of impending ruin and destruction, and having some intimation of safety and happiness in Christ, and being filled with love to him, and a liking of him flee with all haste to him for refuge, for righteousness, peace, pardon, life, and salvation:<\/p>\n and came down<\/strong>; from the tree he had climbed, merely to indulge his curiosity, little thinking that he should be called by name by him; that he should have him a guest at his house, and have such a knowledge of him, and familiar acquaintance with him: so souls, when called by Christ, and made sensible of their need of him, and the worth there is in him, quit their former post and place, part with their carnal lusts and sinful companions, and renounce their own righteousness and works, and come as sinners, humble and lowly, and venture upon Christ:<\/p>\n and received him joyfully<\/strong>; not only into his house, but into his arms and heart: Christ was a welcome guest to him, as he is to every sensible sinner, who by faith receives him, as the Father’s free gift; as the alone Saviour and Redeemer; as the great Mediator, in all his offices, of prophet, priest, and king; and in every relation and character he bears; and embraces his doctrines, and submits to his ordinances, and that with, the greatest joy; as there is reason for it, since with him, he receives the free and full forgiveness of his sins, a justifying righteousness, an abundance of grace, and a right unto, and meetness for heaven.<\/p>\n He made haste and came down <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>). Luke repeats the very words of Jesus with the same idiom.<\/P> Received him joyfully <\/B> ( <\/SPAN><\/span>). The very verb used of Martha’s welcome to Jesus (10:38<\/span>). “Joyfully” is the present active participle, “rejoicing” (<\/SPAN><\/span>). <\/P> <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “And he made haste and came down,” <\/strong>(kai speusas katebe) “And making haste he came down,” for the king’s business requireth haste, 1Sa 21:8<\/span>, at the bidding of and in obedience to the command of Jesus. 0, that every man would so respond to His call, Joh 2:5<\/span>; Joh 14:15<\/span>; Joh 15:14<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “And received him joyfully.” <\/strong>(kai hpuedeksato auton chairon) “And, he (Zacchaeus) welcomed him, (Jesus) rejoicing,” receiving everlasting life, Joh 1:12<\/span>; Rev 22:17<\/span>; Joh 6:37<\/span>; Mat 11:28-30<\/span>.<\/p>\n (6) Received him joyfully.<\/strong>The joy is significant as implying previous yearning, a desire for communion with the new Teacher, the wish to sit at His feet and drink in the words of eternal life.<\/p>\n 6<\/strong>. <\/strong> He made haste<\/em> Joy quickened his movements. <\/p>\n Received him joyfully<\/em> Leading the Saviour’s way to the courts of his home. See vol. 1, pp. 121, 326.<\/p>\n ‘And he hurried, and came down, and received him joyfully.’<\/p>\n Something happened that day in Zacchaeus’ life. For he not only humbled himself and ‘came down’, he also received Jesus into his house, and did it joyfully. It was as though a great burden was lifted from his life. He was transformed by the presence of Jesus, and all the hatred and greed and covetousness and bitterness fell away, and he became a new creature (2Co 5:17<\/span>).<\/p>\n 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 6. And he made haste and came down<\/strong> ] Gilbert Foliot, Bishop of London, A. D. 1161, misliking much Archbishop Becket’s pride and obstinace, would often exhort him to humility in these words, Ad Zacchaeum non divertisset Dominus, nisi de sycomoro iam descendisset, i.e.<\/em> Christ had never dined with Zacchaeus, had he not first yielded to come down from the sycamore tree. <\/p>\n he: Luk 2:16, Gen 18:6, Gen 18:7, Psa 119:59, Psa 119:60, Gal 1:15, Gal 1:16 <\/p>\n joyfully: Luk 5:29, Isa 64:5, Act 2:41, Act 16:15, Act 16:34 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Mat 13:44 – for joy Luk 8:40 – the people Act 28:7 – who<\/p>\n ZACCHUS AND CHRIST<\/p>\n And (Zacchus) made haste, and came down, and received Him joyfully.<\/p>\n Luk 19:6<\/p>\n When Christ was upon earth He dealt with every one severally in such a way as to promote in every one a growing and increasing devotion to His will. In the story of Zacchus we see one who made a glad response to the demand that the Lord laid upon him. He added himself to the company of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n I. We cannot postpone decision in spiritual things. The command is, Make haste, to-day I must abideatthy house. May we humble ourselves to embrace His rule and His sovereignty readily and joyfully!<\/p>\n II. But we must count the cost.The coming of Jesus to Zacchus compelled a re-statement of his life. To accept Christ rightfully we must prepare ourselves for a re-ordering of our lives and a necessary disciplining of our characters. There must be a total surrender of self to the lordship of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n III. Yet there must be no reluctance in the Christian life, but a great gladness. No loss can be thought of as loss when He has come to us.<\/p>\n Rev. John Wakeford.<\/p>\n Illustration<\/p>\n It is precisely at the point mentioned in the text that the conversion of Zacchus seems to have taken place. The unexpected condescension of such a famous teacher of religion, in offering to be a publicans guest, was made the means by which the Spirit changed his heart. Nothing is so frequently found to turn the hearts of great sinners as the unexpected and undeserved tidings that Christ loves them and cares for their souls. These tidings have often broken and melted hearts of stone.<\/p>\n 6<\/p>\n Received him joyfully. Zacchaeus evidently was surprised (and honored) to be called upon to entertain the great Teacher, knowing the general estimate that was placed on publicans as a class.<\/p>\n Luk 19:6. Joyfully. The curiosity was not a vain one; the presence and words of our Lord had wrought their appropriate effect.<\/p>\n And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 6. joyfully ] This public honour done by the Messiah to one so despised by all classes of his countrymen, ennobled him with a new feeling of happiness and self-respect.
