and Plato, is so qualified. In the Gospel of Luke there are a number of cases illustrating that the Man-Savior's standard of morality qualifies Him for dynamic salvation. The best illustration is the parable of the good Samaritan, who signifies the Lord Jesus as the Man-Savior (10:25-37). This Samaritan lived the highest standard of morality, and He saves the fallen ones by His standard of morality.

The highest standard of morality also con­ stitutes the basic factor for the Man-Savior's dynamic salvation. We see this in the case of Zaccheus (19:1-10). Because of the Man-Savior's dynamic salvation, Zaccheus became another person immediately after coming into contact with Him.

When the Man-Savior came to the house of Zaccheus, He came with the Spirit of power (Luke 4:18) and with the indestructible eternal life (Heb. 7:16) to impart into him at his believ­ ing in Him (John 3:15). The Spirit of power and the eternal life were both conveyed in the high­ est standard of His morality. When He, as such a dynamic Man-Savior, looked at Zaccheus and said to him, "Zaccheus, hurry and come down; for today I must stay in your house," Zaccheus responded.
