WHO DO WE SEE?
Bible: Luke 19:1-10
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost (Luke 19:10).
Reading
How we view other people affects if we’re nice to them or not. If we respect a teacher, for example, we’ll probably take the time to listen and learn from them. If we’re scared of them, we might not really ‘be ourselves’ with them. If we don’t think a classmate is worth our time, we may well ignore them whenever we see them so we don’t have to talk to them.
The people of Jericho were offended when Jesus went to the home of Zacchaeus the tax collector. “When they saw it, they all complained, saying, ‘He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner’ ” (LUKE 19:7). Yet, when Zacchaeus had a deep change of heart (V.8), Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house . . . For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (VV.9-10).
I once heard someone say: “When we see people as losers, we treat them like they’re losers. When we see them as lost, we treat them with kindness.”
Jesus doesn’t see losers, only lost people He loves. When we look at the people around us, who do we see?

God, please give me Your love for the people in my class, church and workplace. Help me see them as people who need to find their God.
