Zacchaeus the Tax Collector
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. [SUP]2 [/SUP]A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. [SUP]3 [/SUP]He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. [SUP]4 [/SUP]So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” [SUP]6 [/SUP]So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”
[SUP]8 [/SUP]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.”
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. [SUP]10 [/SUP]For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation;
for it is better to be alone than in bad company.

At first I thought that the thread was about music....

But after reading the post and considering 1 Thess 2:13 KJV, I thought I would spice the thread up a bit since it written that the LORD would raise up men of truth from amongst us that we should listen to. George Washington's testimony is just one of many I have read and the topic of the thread brought that particular one to mind.

Hang out with wise people----leave the fools behind----Like Mr.T says----"I pity the fool..."
