In the context of <a href="/luke/19.htm">Luke 19</a>, Jesus is speaking to Zacchaeus, a tax collector who has just expressed his intention to make restitution for his wrongdoings. This personal engagement reflects Jesus' mission to seek and save the lost, as seen throughout the Gospels.Today salvation has come to this house The use of "today" emphasizes the immediacy and present reality of salvation. It signifies a pivotal moment of transformation for Zacchaeus and his household. The concept of "house" in Jewish culture often extends beyond the physical dwelling to include the family and household members, indicating that Zacchaeus' decision impacts all under his influence. This echoes the theme of household salvation seen in <a href="/acts/16-31.htm">Acts 16:31</a>, where belief in Jesus leads to salvation for the entire household.because this man too is a son of Abraham By calling Zacchaeus a "son of Abraham," Jesus affirms his inclusion in the covenant community of Israel, despite his status as a tax collector, often viewed as a traitor and sinner. This statement underscores the theme of spiritual lineage over mere ethnic descent, aligning with Paul's teaching in <a href="/galatians/3-7.htm">Galatians 3:7</a> that those who have faith are the true children of Abraham. It also reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through him, as seen in <a href="/genesis/12-3.htm">Genesis 12:3</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who brings salvation to humanity.

In one sense salvation had come in the personal presence of the Saviour, but we must remember all that the word implied--deliverance, not from the penalty only, but from the habit and the power of sin. This had come, and the words and acts of Zacchaeus showed the fruits. And it comes to him because "he also is a child of Abraham." The Abraham character was in him, as that of the true Israel was in Nicodemus (<a href="/john/1-47.htm" title="Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!">John 1:47</a>). A son of Abraham, like him in his noble generosity (comp. <a href="/genesis/13-9.htm" title="Is not the whole land before you? separate yourself, I pray you, from me: if you will take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.">Genesis 13:9</a>; <a href="/genesis/14-23.htm" title="That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is yours, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich:">Genesis 14:23</a>), was found where, to the common observer, it would have seemed as hopeless to look for one as among the stones of the Jordan valley (<a href="/matthew/3-9.htm" title="And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say to you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham.">Matthew 3:9</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 9. - And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house. This solemn announcement on the part of the Redeemer was something more than a mere comforting assurance to a man who, in spite of difficulties and temptations, had striven manfully to lead a brave and generous life, helping, it is clear, the very multitude who were so ready to revile him. It is an assurance to the world that men might work in any profession or calling, and at the same time live a life pleasing to God. It repeats with intense emphasis - and this is the great lesson of this striking scene - that it is never the work or the position in life which ennobles the man in the sight of God, but only the way in which the work is done, and the position used, which are of price in his pure eyes. The hated publican at the receipt of custom - the servant of Rome, might so live as to win the smile of God, as well as the priest in the sanctuary, or the rabbi in his theological school. He also is a son of Abraham. That is to say, a spiritual son - a son in the highest and most real sense. Zacchaeus was a faithful follower of Abraham, in his life and in his faith. <a href="/commentaries/luke/19-9.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Jesus Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2424.htm">Strong's 2424: </a> Of Hebrew origin; Jesus, the name of our Lord and two other Israelites. said Εἶπεν (Eipen) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2036.htm">Strong's 2036: </a> Answer, bid, bring word, command.
