"The Mission Has a Name." (Luke 19:1-10) - Shabbat - 05/30/26

The mission of Yeshua was never abstract. He came to seek and save the lost—and in Luke 19, that world-saving mission becomes beautifully personal in the life of one man named Zacchaeus.

Zacchaeus was small in stature, despised by his community, rich from betrayal, and hidden in a sycamore tree. But Yeshua was not merely passing through Jericho—He was seeking the one everyone else had written off. This “mikros” man becomes a microcosm of the Gospel: the Kingdom mission is big, but the world Yeshua came to save is made up of individual people with names, stories, shame, sin, and homes in need of salvation.

In this teaching, we explore how Yeshua sees the hidden, calls the lost by name, takes on the reproach of sinners, and brings salvation into the house of the one who responds to His kindness with genuine repentance.

The mission has a name. And that name includes YOUR name. For Zacchaeus, salvation came home. And the same Yeshua still calls us out of hiding today.
