    This message looks at the account of a very short man named Zacchaeus. Though he was small in stature, he was by no means small in nature, for he demonstrated a character that many of us need to have in our own lives.

Most of us have probably at least heard of Zacchaeus before because of a popular childhood song that we learned in church, either in Sunday school or Vacation Bible School.
