Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.

Hey, let's talk about grace. Check this out. Grace kills injustice and greed. Grace kills

injustice and greed. How do we know? Because Jesus tells us incredible story about this

incredible rich tax collector name Zacchaeus. In Luke 19, 1 through 10, Zachias was an incredibly

wealthy tax collector. Why is that important to know? In the Jewish world, when a tax collector,

a Jewish man took taxes from the Jewish people and gave to the Gentile pagan Roman oppressors, he was a sellout.

He couldn't even go to the synagogue to worship.

He couldn't go to the temple to worship.

He was a social outcast.

But look what grace does.

Number one, grace sees the overlook.

Grace sees the overlooked.

Zakias was trying to see who Jesus was as Jesus was coming to town.

So running ahead, he climbed up a sycamore tree.

Check this out.

Grace climbs past the crowd to call your name.

Zakeas was wealthy but empty, powerful but disguised.

The crowd saw a crook, a sellout, a partner with the oppressor.

Jesus saw a man worth redeeming.

Grace finds you even when you're hiding in the trees of shame, guilt, and greed.

Number two, grace dines with the disqualified.

Grace dines with the disqualified.
