The 2nd Liners

In all aspects of life we meet “The 2nd Liners”, they are the group pf people less “known” or less “popular”, the ones that are not up to the level of the Stardom famous names we know by heart. In football teams, you will probably know 2 or three names, the Super Stars doing great and the rest of the team, the Second Liner, is just the “rest of the team” with a number each. In a movie three or four names (the super actors on the poster probably) are known the rest have their names written in a scrolling long list of credits, at school…at work…everywhere we meet the second liners…the not good enough…whose names are just…unknown!

Zacchaeus (the tax collector), a short man who obviously was not by any means on the list of “Good names” and “Super Star” from a spiritual and religious stand point, a Name that the villagers would not consider on a First line not even a second liner when it comes to value and “Godly relationship”.
BUT Jesus called him BY NAME!

“And when Jesus reached the place, He looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today. So he hurried and came down, and he received and welcomed Him joyfully.” Luke 19:5-6 AMP
“فلَمّا جاءَ يَسوعُ إلَى المَكانِ، نَظَرَ إلَى فوقُ فرآهُ، وقالَ لهُ: «يا زَكّا، أسرِعْ وانزِلْ، لأنَّهُ يَنبَغي أنْ أمكُثَ اليومَ في بَيتِكَ». فأسرَعَ ونَزَلَ وقَبِلهُ فرِحًا.” لوقا 19:5-6 

Jesus has a special heart seeking the 2nd and 3rd liners…He came to help the unwanted, the heal to unnoticed, to call free the burdened and the troubled…and call by name left aside!

No matter how you feel you stand spiritually, even if you are a 10th Liner, God knows you by name and will call you and Come to have dinner with you. Are you hungry for Him? Do you want to receive Him? Zacchaeus gave Him a sign and climbed the tree to see Jesus, Give Him a sign today and NOW and He will make of you a 1st Liner on His “Love Spreading” team!

Keep shining my Friends!
