Jesus was going through the city
of Jericho.
A man was there named Zacchaeus
who was a very important tax
collector, and he was wealthy.
He wanted to see who Jesus was,
but he was not able because he
was too short to see above the
crowd.
He ran ahead to a place where
Jesus would come, and he
climed a sycamore tree so he
could see him (Jesus).
When Jesus came to that place,
he looked up and said to him,
"Zacchaeus, hurry and come
down! I must stay at your house
today."
Zacchaeus came down quickly
and welcomed him gladly.
All the people saw this and
began to complain, "Jesus is
staying with a sinner."
But Zacchaeus stood and said
to the Lord, "I will give half of
my possessions to the poor.
And if I have cheated anyone,
I will pay back four times more."
Jesus said to him, "Salvation
has come to this house today,
because this man also belongs
to the family of Abraham.
The Son of Man came to find
lost people and save them."
CONSIDER:
LISTING THINGS YOU LIKE
ABOUT YOURSELF AND
THANKING GOD FOR MAKING
YOU SPECIAL.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL TODAY.
