The Saint in the Sycamore
Rev. Daniel Eggold - Guest Pastor
All Saints’ Day - Sermon Text: Luke 19:1-10 Readings: Psalm 130; Habakkuk 1:1-4, 2:1-4; Luke 19:1-10
Zacchaeus, the wealthy tax collector, climbed a sycamore tree just hoping to catch a glimpse of Jesus. But Jesus saw him first — calling him down, staying at his house, and bringing salvation to a sinner. On this All Saints’ Day, rejoice that Jesus spots you, too.
Loose Threads
He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:6b
“If your baby is late enough, you might get the bird done,” my doctor teased, seeing the crewel embroidery I was stitching before my obstetric appointments. I finished the bird, but life as a mother of five crowded out frivolous stitchery. The project gave way to more practical tasks, a reminder that “Life is fragile; handle with prayer” is outlined in daily experience rather than colored yarn. Forty-five years later, I have resumed work on the embroidery project. I know myself too well to think that I will outlive all my unfinished projects, but this one is near completion. I suspect that few of us have all our loose threads neatly tied in our projects, much less our lives! How comforting it is to know that “He who began a good work in [us] will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Having completed the work of our salvation, He continues to conform us to His “pattern” — with no loose threads!
