Embarrassed or annoyed, people in a crowd told a blind beggar to stop shouting for Jesus. Receiving his sight, the man’s cries for pity turned to praising God. Zacchaeus, a tax collector, set pride aside and climbed a tree just to see the Lord, with unanticipated results. When Jesus saw merchants using a prayer area around the Temple as a marketplace, He drove them out. Servants in a parable received handsome rewards for profitably using money entrusted to them, making the point that God rewards people for good use of blessings. Some Sadducees, who denied resurrection, asked whose wife a woman—widowed seven times and still childless—would become in the next life. Jesus said that those risen from the dead would live as children of God. If we feel too embarrassed to express our faith, how will others come to share it?
