“Today is salvation come to this house.” Luke 19:9
When God is at work, the camel passes through the needle's eye. In Luke 18 a camel came hesitantly to the needle’s eye and failed to go through; but here at Jericho a camel passed right through.
How could Zacchaeus give as he did? Because that day salvation had come to him. He yielded, not because it was easy, nor because he had cried and prayed and then with a tremendous struggle given in. He did not surrender a bit today and a bit tomorrow until he was forced finally to surrender all. He who had hoarded for decades, risking many dangers and falling into great disrepute in order to build up his wealth, now let it all go—because God had brought salvation to his house.
