When Zacchaeus, a tax collector heard that Jesus was passing through Jericho, he wanted to see who Jesus was. But, on account of the crowd and him being a short man, he decided to go up a sycamore tree to get a good view. When Jesus came to where Zacchaeus was, He looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house.” All who saw it began to grumble, saying, “Jesus has gone to the house of a sinner.” They were all judging Zacchaeus, but God was getting ready to bless him.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, God knows where we are and who we are. I am sure Zacchaeus was astonished when he heard Jesus calling out to him, and even more confused when He said He was going to be a guest in his house; for he knew that he was a sinner and he acknowledged that to Jesus, who said to him, ‘Today, salvation has come to your house, for the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.’ At the appointed time, Jesus will seek out and save all those who are lost, no matter who you are and where you are. To God be the glory!
