Zacchaeus #AtoZChallenge

Letter Z

In my 2013 A to Z post I wrote:

Zacchaeus was a little man, but not overlooked by Jesus.  Luke 19:1-9

Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega (The first and last letter in the Greek alphabet). Revelation 1:8

Zacchaeus climbed a tree in order to see Jesus. That took effort and the need to overcome embarrassment.

I hope you have learned more about Jesus and know Him better through this Blogging from A to Z. He was there when the world began (The Alpha) and will be alive for evermore (The Omega).

Xenophobia #AtoZChallenge

Letter X

In my 2013 A to Z post I wrote:

Awe is the sort of fear God inspires.  The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. What does the Bible tell us about strangers?

The people of Israel were strangers in a foreign land.

Offer hospitality to strangers for by doing so some have entertained angels unawares.  Hebrews 13:2

And what does it say about fear?

Perfect love casts out fear. 1 John 4:18-21

 Proverbs 1:7

I hadn’t found a word beginning with X to link with a passage in the Bible, but I was thinking (and writing) about xenophobia – the fear of strangers. I used that word in two other A to Z challenges 2021 and 2017
