This tax season most of us will be receiving a rebate check. I am sure many, myself included, are thinking of ways to use this unexpected rebate from the government. I would like to suggest that we at least take a good look at the story of Zacchaeus, on whose heart the Lord had gotten a good grip. He said to all those who had assembled at his house: “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor . . .” (Luke 19:8). Just think what would happen if all of us decided to follow this example of Zacchaeus and give 50 percent of this unexpected rebate to our local congregation, local WELS school or other organization, or to the synod. The result would be staggering.
