THE LOVE STORY
When Jesus went to Jericho, he touched the lives of two men: Zacchaeus and Bartimaeus. One of the men was chief of tax collector who was very wealthy. The other man was poor, a beggar seated by the side of the road. Jesus looked at both men equally. Neither as a rich man nor a poor man. But BOTH men were miserable and poor.
When Jesus freely gave his grace and mercy to both as needed he sent both happy and satisfied. I give you the confirmation right now if Christ satisfied the needs of those men who were hopeless, he can also satisfy you. Whether you're rich or poor or even in between.
​
John 3:16 is where we find the love of God; a love who pushed God to give his only child for everyone not to perish, but to have everlasting life.
​
Romans 10:9 says "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved".
If you would like to receive Jesus-Christ as your Personal Saviour repeat this prayer:
"Lord, I confess that I have sinned against you. I believe that Jesus-Christ came to the Earth and was born and crucified to pay my sins. I believe that Jesus-Christ rose from the dead and he has the power over all creation. Right now, I accept Jesus as my Savior and as the Lord of my life. Amen."
Zacchaeus' Story
​
Luke 19:1-10
​
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-figtree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. 7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” 8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Bartimaeus' Story
​
Mark 10:46-52
​
46 Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means “son of Timaeus”), was sitting by the roadside begging. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 48 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called to the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet! He’s calling you.” 50 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. 51 “What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” 52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
