I liked how Zacchaeus, after he was saved by Jesus, chose to give away half of his possessions and restore anything that he had defrauded from others up to four times! Even if it is costly, it is important to make restitution wherever possible for the things that we have done wrong. I need God's help to see if there is anything that I can give back to people.
Jesus gives such wise answers to the scribes and Pharisees who question him at the temple in Jerusalem. He is so wise as to not fall into their traps or incite a rebellion against the Roman authorities there. I don't want to question Jesus the way that the religious leaders asked questions to try to trap him. But I do ask Jesus for help and wisdom, and I may ask questions about things that are confusing me from the Scripture. God is not afraid of our questions, and he will answer gently and with great wisdom.
