A Short Man with Tons of Change

What can make one man completely turn his life around? Zacchaeus is well known throughout Jericho, but for all the wrong reasons. Although he's rich, he is actually poor when it comes to having friends and being respected. Business and money come first, and his greedy ways have led to him taking much more than his fair share. Tired of his dishonesty, people even cross to the other side of the street when they see him coming! But that all changes when a man named Jesus comes to town. Zacchaeus won't let anything get in his way to see this man everyone is talking about. He's even willing to climb a tree! When Jesus sees him, He calls Zacchaeus by name. After meeting Jesus, Zacchaeus has a change of heart. The message in his story is as relevant today as it was in Zacchaeus's time and a reminder that Jesus knows us and wants to change us for the better.
