Jesus and Zaccheus
Jesus and Zaccheus
Jesus enters the town surrounded by crowds pushing in on Him. Zacchaeus, a short man, tries to see Jesus. But he can't see above the crowds or get through them. He climbs a tree. Jesus calls out to him. He tells Zacchaeus to come down from the tree because He wants to have dinner with him. People are appalled. Zacchaeus is the town tax collector. But Zacchaeus is more than happy. He comes down from the tree and leads the way.
