A. Zacchaeus was a tax collector.
Luke 19:1-10 NLT
1. Zacchaeus lived in Jericho, a town near Jerusalem.
Luke 19:1 NLT
2. Zacchaeus was a chief tax collector over a district.
Luke 19:2 NLT
3. Zacchaeus was too short to see Jesus over the crowd and not the kind of person anyone felt any benevolence, as to give him a space to see.
Luke 19:3 NLT
4. So, Zacchaeus had no obstacles in trying to see Jesus.
Luke 19:4 NLT
B. There are so many questions...
1. What would motivate a wealthy man to climb a tree in a crowd?
2. What would motivate a community leader feared in all crowds, to lose his dignity and climb a tree?
3. What would motivate a despised man, who was not even permitted to enter the Temple or a synagogue to seek after a religious man?
4. Why wouldn’t he have used some of his wealth to get access to a front row seat to see this Jesus?
C. Here is how it all went down...
1. Jesus caught eye contact with Zacchaeus, called him by name, and invited Himself to his home.
Luke 19:5 NLT
2. With great excitement, Zacchaeus quickly climbed down and took Jesus home with him.
Luke 19:6 NLT
3. Jesus did not please the crowd at His invitation to the home of Zacchaeus.
Luke 19:7 NLT
4. Zacchaeus makes a remarkable transformation!
Luke 19:8 NLT
5. Jesus confirms the transformation and His purpose in coming!
Luke 19:9-10 NLT
D. If you were friends with Zacchaeus, what takeaway would you gain from your friendship?
From Zacchaeus:
1. There are no obstacles when it comes to seeking Jesus.
2. It is better to lose our dignity, pride, and self-importance, than our soul.
3. Seeking after Jesus puts us in the place of being willing to take a risk.
4. Wealth should never be an obstacle to following Jesus but rather a vehicle to serving Him.
5. Following Jesus may mean being your most effective tax collector (or whatever vocation) in your line of work.
6. Relationships are the most important work we do.
7. People are more important than money!
8. Real repentance takes us in a different direction than we have traveled thus far.
From Jesus:
9. Nothing matches eye contact and personal names in connecting with people.
10. Always be on the lookout for those who are seeking Jesus.
11. Your normal pathways will give you opportunities you never expected.
12. Don’t let discomfort stop you from reaching out to others.
13. Don’t let the opinion of the crowds hold you back from reaching others for Jesus.
14. Acknowledge the work of God in others’ lives. It will encourage them and strengthen them for what is ahead for them.
15. No person is beyond the reach of Jesus’ forgiveness nor His transforming power.
16. Never lose sight of our purpose and mission. This world can distract us, but nothing is more important than preparing for eternity and taking as many as possible to heaven with us.
