ZACCHAEUS—THE LITTLE MAN
A Tax Collector Becomes a Changed Man
Jesus and His disciples were walking to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. By the time they came to the city of Jericho, many people had joined them. How fresh and green Jericho looked to the travelers! They gazed at the fragrant balsam and thriving palm trees beside bubbling springs of water.
Tax collectors also liked the town of Jericho. It was a good place to get rich, especially for someone as cunning as their chief, Zacchaeus. But all of Zacchaeus’ money could not make him truly happy.
Zacchaeus had heard about Jesus, the wonderful teacher and healer. When Jesus arrived at Jericho, Zacchaeus longed for a glimpse of Him. But he had a problem. He was so short that he could not see over the people’s heads.
Zacchaeus did not care what anyone thought of him. He ran ahead of the crowd and climbed a sycamore tree. There he perched on a limb to watch Jesus pass by. But Jesus did not walk past. He stopped and said, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down. Today I must stay at your house.”
Zacchaeus could hardly believe his ears. Was this great teacher really talking to him, a hated tax collector? But something was happening in his heart. Zacchaeus scrambled down the tree faster than he had climbed up. Joyfully he welcomed Jesus to his house.
When the people saw Jesus going with Zacchaeus, they began to criticize Him. They said, “How can He be so friendly with such a sinful man?”
But that day Zacchaeus became a changed man. He told Jesus, “I will give half of my belongings to the poor. If I have cheated anyone I will give back to him four times as much money as I took.” Zacchaeus was promising to do even more than the law required to make his wrongs right.
Jesus rejoiced at the change in Zacchaeus. “Today salvation has come to this house,” He said. Jesus’ work was not only healing the sick, the lame, the deaf, and the blind, but also making sinful hearts clean. He said, “I have come to seek and to save those who are lost.”
Luke 19:1-10
