Zacchaeus Make Hast, Come

The 18th chapter reveals man's spiritual condition to be one of inability, ignorance and darkness. Luke illustrated the effectual call of grace by the publican Zacchaeus. Jesus' call was particular, imperative, authoritative, intimate, effectual and life-changing. God's call isn't an invitation but a summons. As the psalmist said, "thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power" (Psalm 110:3). As it was in the Scriptures, so it is today.
