When God calls Abraham, His promise is bigger than one man, one family, or one nation. God intends to bless all peoples through him. That promise becomes one of the major pieces of Scripture’s redemptive picture and ultimately finds its fulfillment in Jesus. In encounters like the one with Zacchaeus, we see Jesus carrying God’s grace across the boundaries people create and bringing salvation to those others might have written off. The Gospel was never intended to become the private possession of a favored few. From the beginning, God’s plan has been to extend His grace to every nation, every kind of person, and every person willing to receive it.
