Unhealthy Thinkers

 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold." And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."

Luke 19:8 - 10
 
Change is inevitable to those who change. Repentance starts in the mind then moves to the lifestyle. We can act out of sync with our thoughts, yet we live frustrating lives when we do.
In time, we tire of being frustrated, and we often change our thoughts to go with our actions.
Yet, our actions were never meant to drive our thoughts, so we live in this perpetual cycle of dysfunction.
 
Zacchaeus sought God, repented, and began to get his life in line with his new thoughts. He is an example of how healthy people think.
 
The unhealthy thinkers were still reeling with the idea that Zacchaeus got the privilege of hosting Jesus. Perhaps Jesus chose Zacchaeus because he was the healthiest thinker of them all.
