Never give up, keep on pursuing Jesus

In this life, we will face many trials and temptations. What matter the most is who we are pursuing. Many people are pursuing the thing of the world. Some people seek love without seeking the creator. Some will pursue happiness through their flesh. We first must seek the kingdom of God, and all things will be added to us. Our first priority is to pursue the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Without having a kingdom of God, all thing is worthless. Nothing can make us complete without having Jesus Christ in our hearts. When we first have Christ in our hearts, the thing will become worthy. Our life is incomplete without having Jesus in our hearts, and he alone can complete us. Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector and a wealthy man. He must know that wealth does not complete him.

No matter what circumstance comes our way, nothing can stop us from pursuing Jesus. Zacchaeus was a short man and as well as a chief tax collector. He desires to know who Jesus was, but he didn't expect to have dinner with Jesus under his roof. Despite being short, that didn't stop him from reaching to Jesus through the crowd. He climbs a sycamore-fig tree, trying to see who Jesus is. He embraces the opportunity of meeting with Jesus, which saved him and an entire family. Jesus enters Jericho in Luke 19 and was arrested in Luke 22. If Zacchaeus let the crowd stop him, then he would have missed his opportunity.
