As therefore Zaccheus was willing to receive Christ into his house, so let us be ready to receive him into our hearts. For as Christ said to Zaccheus, This day I must abide at thy house: so he saith to every one of us. This day I must abide in your hearts. Wherefore as the prophet David 1saith, Open your gates that the King of glory may come in: so I say unto you, Open your hearts, that the word of God may enter in. This day the word of God may abide in your hearts, for this day the word is preached unto you; and who knoweth whether he shall live to hear it the next Sabbath: To day therefore if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as did the Israelites, lest if you harden 2your hearts, his voice be heard no more amongst you.
