"One surefire way to know you're starting to grasp the message of grace is when you're finally able to admit that you're not the good guy - that yo never were and apart from grace never will be. In other words, when you finally find yourself being honest about who you are. The freedom of the gospel is the freedom to stop pretending you are anything but a fellow Zacchaeus, a sinner in need of a savior."
-Tullian Tchividjian, One Way Love: Inexhaustible Grace For An Exhausted World, Page 133

A Modern Zacchaeus?
From the Tweet feed of Vineyard pastor Rich Nathan @RichNathan:
What if Lance Armstrong,like Zacchaeus,said "I give 1/2 of my property to the poor and if I have cheated anyone I will pay back 4x the amt!"
If Lance said what Zacchaeus said, he would hear Jesus say "Today salvation has come to this house." Way better than absolution from Oprah!If only! You can find the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-9.
