Luke 19:1-10 (Good News Translation)

1Jesus went on into Jericho and was passing through.
          2There was a chief tax collector there named Zacchaeus, who was
rich.
          3He was trying to see who Jesus was, but he was a little man
and could not see Jesus because of the crowd.
          4So he ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree to
see Jesus, who was going to pass that way.
          5When Jesus came to that place, he looked up and said to
Zacchaeus,
         “Hurry down, Zacchaeus, because I must stay in your house
today.”
          6Zacchaeus hurried down and welcomed him with great joy.
          7All the people who saw it started grumbling,
         “This man has gone as a guest to the home of a
sinner!”
          8Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord,
         “Listen, sir! I will give half my belongings to the poor,
and if I have cheated anyone, I will pay back four times as much.”
          9Jesus said to him,
         Salvation has come to this house today, for this man, also, is a
descendant of Abraham.

          10The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
God bless you.

Luke 17:20-37.

Luke 17.20-37 God's Kingdom Some Pharisees asked Jesus when God's kingdom would come. He answered, "God's kingdom isn't something you can see. There is no use saying, 'Look! Here it is' or 'Look! There it is.' God's kingdom is here with you." Jesus said to his disciples: The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not. When people say to you, "Look there," or "Look here," don't go looking for him. The day of the Son of Man will be like lightning flashing across the sky. But first he must suffer terribly and be rejected by the people of today. When the Son of Man comes, things will be just as they were when Noah lived. People were eating, drinking, and getting married right up to the day when Noah went into the big boat. Then the flood came and drowned everyone on earth. When Lot lived, people were also eating and drinking. They were buying, s...

Psalm 85 (Good News Translation)   1LORD, you have been merciful to your land; you have made Israel prosperous again. 2You have forgiven your people's sins and pardoned all their wrongs. 3You stopped being angry with them and held back your furious rage. 4Bring us back, O God our savior, and stop being displeased with us! 5Will you be angry with us forever? Will your anger never cease? 6Make us strong again, and we, your people, will praise you. 7Show us your constant love, O LORD, and give us your saving help. 8I am listening to what the LORD God is saying; he promises peace to us, his own people, if we do not go back to our foolish ways. 9Surely he is ready to save those who honor him, and his saving presence will remain in our land. 10Love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will embrace. 11Human loyalty will reach up from the earth, and God's righteousness will look down from heaven. 12The LORD will make us prosperous, and our land will produce rich harv...
