The Desire of Ages
It is when Christ is received as a personal Saviour that salvation
comes to the soul. Zacchaeus had received Jesus, not merely as a
passing guest in his home, but as One to abide in the soul temple. The
scribes and Pharisees accused him as a sinner, they murmured against
Christ for becoming his guest, but the Lord recognized him as a son of
Abraham. For “they which are of faith, the same are the children of
Abraham.”
Galatians 3:7
