The Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lostReferring to Zacchaeus, Jesus came to save people who are lost in specific sins such as the love of money, sexual lust, arrogance, pride, ingratitude, and the fear of man.Luke 19:9–10
Saved from slavery to the opinions of menMany Christians only think of salvation from hell, but right now Jesus wants to save believers from slavery to the opinions of relatives, friends, and office colleagues.
The difference between struggle and the love of moneyWhile needy people struggle to make ends meet, others accumulate excess money into bank accounts while claiming salvation, failing to realize they are enslaved to wealth.
Dumping the sandbags of earthJust like a hot air balloon must dump sandbags of earthly weights to go upward, believers must ask the Lord to save them from every wretched thing binding them down.
God will take care of you and your familyIf you honor God, you and your children will never starve, and accumulating wealth for grandchildren is unnecessary because Jesus can care for them better than you can.
Trying to learn what is pleasing to the LordBelievers should make their lifelong education and goal to try to learn every day what is pleasing to their Savior.Ephesians 5:10
A prayer of forgiveness and surrenderThe speaker closes with a call to forgive anyone you hold bitterness against so that God will hear your prayer to save you from the love of money and the desire to please people.
