210What are our values? What is our life built around? What is our identity? To the extentthat what is important to us is not important to God, to just that extent discipleship will cost us.We need to give up what is important to us for what is important for Him.For Zacchaeus, his decision meant rejection of the old values on which his life had beenbased and commitment to the values of Jesus. Zacchaeus expressed those values by his behavior.He gave away the wealth he had once lived for.Intellectual assent or agreement with what the Bible says is not enough. To be a disciplewe must step beyond mere agreement to definite action. After all, it is our actions which expressour true values. What we do is what we believe. How we spend our time, money and talents tellus a lot more about ourselves than what we accept as intellectually true. Agreement with truth isonly the first step in conversion and discipleship. It is commitment that counts!
211We just had a wedding yesterday. What if John just said, “I really like Pamela, I think theworld of her, there is no one I would rather be with, I would like for her to be my wife some daywithout ever saying, ‘Will you marry me?’” No amount of words will ever unite this coupleunless they commit to a wedding and a marriage. That is the proof of the pudding.In every society, there are tax collectors. Not tax collectors who collect taxes, but peoplewho are neglected or despised for various reasons. Every society has certain groups of peoplewho are considered “untouchable” because of their political views, their immoral behavior ortheir lifestyle. We should not give in to social pressure to avoid these people. Jesus lovesthem, and we need to reach out to them in compassion and share His Good News.
