The Importance of the Gospel of the Day<\/h2>\n

As Christians, we place a high value on God\u2019s Word. It is through belief in the Word of God that we are saved (Rm 10:17). The Word of God then becomes our guide for life in all circumstances, whether in employment, in social life or even in the family circle. Our aspiration should be to live by the Word of God.<\/p>\n

Lucas 19:1-10 \u00e9 uma das narrativas mais marcantes e cinematogr\u00e1ficas de todo o evangelho. \u00c9 a hist\u00f3ria de Zaqueu, o homem pequeno que sobe numa \u00e1rvore para ver Jesus \u2014 e acaba descobrindo que, na verdade, Jesus j\u00e1 tinha visto ele h\u00e1 muito tempo. O texto \u00e9 curto, mas \u00e9 dens\u00edssimo: fala sobre pecado, vergonha, exclus\u00e3o social, desejo espiritual, gra\u00e7a escandalosa, arrependimento com frutos concretos e, no fim, a frase que resume o cora\u00e7\u00e3o da miss\u00e3o de Cristo: \u201co Filho do Homem veio buscar e salvar o que se havia perdido.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

A hist\u00f3ria de Zaqueu \u00e9 t\u00e3o famosa que a gente corre o risco de trat\u00e1-la como um \u201cconto infantil\u201d (o homem baixinho na \u00e1rvore), quando na verdade ela \u00e9 uma das cenas mais teologicamente poderosas do Novo Testamento. Vamos entrar nela com aten\u00e7\u00e3o, porque cada detalhe \u00e9 proposital.<\/p>\n

\n

1) Contexto: Jesus est\u00e1 a caminho da cruz e passa por Jeric\u00f3<\/h2>\n
\n

\u201cJesus entrou em Jeric\u00f3 e estava atravessando a cidade.\u201d (Lc 19:1)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jeric\u00f3 n\u00e3o \u00e9 uma cidade qualquer. Ela est\u00e1 localizada numa rota importante para quem vai em dire\u00e7\u00e3o a Jerusal\u00e9m. E Lucas constr\u00f3i uma tens\u00e3o crescente: Jesus est\u00e1 indo para Jerusal\u00e9m, onde ser\u00e1 rejeitado, sofrer\u00e1 e morrer\u00e1 \u2014 mas no caminho, Ele continua salvando pessoas com precis\u00e3o cir\u00fargica.<\/p>\n

Ou seja, o texto n\u00e3o \u00e9 um \u201cintervalo fofo\u201d antes da crucifica\u00e7\u00e3o. \u00c9 parte da miss\u00e3o central: Jesus vai para a cruz, mas enquanto caminha, vai mostrando o que a cruz significa: Deus entrando na vida de gente considerada irrecuper\u00e1vel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeric\u00f3 tamb\u00e9m era conhecida por ser uma cidade pr\u00f3spera, com com\u00e9rcio e circula\u00e7\u00e3o de dinheiro. E \u00e9 exatamente nesse ambiente que aparece um personagem que representa o lado mais feio do dinheiro: o chefe dos cobradores de impostos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

2) Quem \u00e9 Zaqueu? E por que ele \u00e9 t\u00e3o odiado?<\/h2>\n
\n

\u201cHavia ali um homem rico chamado Zaqueu, chefe dos publicanos.\u201d (Lc 19:2)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A palavra \u201cpublicano\u201d significa cobrador de impostos, mas \u00e9 muito mais do que isso no imagin\u00e1rio judaico da \u00e9poca.<\/p>\n

Os publicanos eram judeus que trabalhavam para o Imp\u00e9rio Romano. Eles coletavam impostos do pr\u00f3prio povo e, muitas vezes, cobravam mais do que o necess\u00e1rio, ficando com a diferen\u00e7a. Isso os tornava:<\/p>\n
