Maybe because as a child everyone seemed taller than me as they did for Zacchaeus. Maybe because of the happy ending to story. 2. This story teaches us much about what we ...read more

    The biblical account of Zacchaeus is far more than an exciting tale to be told to children in Sunday School. This wonderful story is packed with theological truth concerning sinners, the Savior, and salvation.

    Whatever the reason was that made Zacchaeus want to see Jesus he was determined to see him. He went to great lengths. He ran ahead of the crowd and he climbed a sycamore tree so he could catch a glimpse of Jesus as he passed by.

    Some people are very interested in the Royal Family of Great Britain. I must confess that for me, not so much. Just in a year over 3 million visited the Royal residence.

    Every time I read the gospels recounting of Jesus ministry I am amazed at how every turn, route or path Jesus took was a planned season for someone to encounter him. Jesus entered and passed through Jerico and this time it was Zacchaeus season of visitation.
