Nothing to Offer

LORD, I call to you….Listen to me when I call to you.
Psalm 141:1 (NCV)

Nicodemus came to Jesus in the middle of the night. The centurion came in
the middle of the day. The leper and the sinful woman appeared in the
middle of crowds. Zacchaeus appeared in the middle of a tree. Matthew had
a party for him.

The educated. The powerful. The rejected. The sick. The lonely. The
wealthy. Who would have ever assembled such a crew? All they had in common
were their empty hope chests, long left vacant by charlatans and profiteers.
Though they had nothing to offer, they asked for everything: a new birth, a
second chance, a fresh start, a clean conscience. And without exception
their requests were honored.
