”When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.” Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled. Meanwhile, Zacchaeus stood before the Lord and said, “I will give half my wealth to the poor, Lord, and if I have cheated people on their taxes, I will give them back four times as much!” Jesus responded, “Salvation has come to this home today, for this man has shown himself to be a true son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”“ Luke‬ ‭19‬:‭5‬-‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬ #kids, #christiankids, #biblestoriesforkids, #disciplesofjesus,#godisgood, #forgodsolovedtheworld, #salvation, #godisgood, #forgiveness, #asformeandmyhousewewillservethelord, #fellowshipwithgod, #familybibletime, #familydevotions, #jesusnmeclubhouse, #fishbytes4kids, #roncarriewebb, #ronandcarriewebb

”As he entered a village there, ten men with leprosy stood at a distance, crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy. One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking Him for what He had done. This man was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you.”“ Luke‬ ‭17‬:‭12‬-‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ #kids, #christiankids, #biblestoriesforkids, #disciplesofjesus,#godisgood, #jesushealedthemall, #godisgood, #godwantsyouwell, #jesusismyhealer, #familybibletime, #familydevotions, #jesusnmeclubhouse, #fishbytes4kids, #roncarriewebb, #ronandcarriewebb
