Looking For The Lord
Hide behind Landon
Zacchaeus Was a Wee Little Man
If you didn’t get the idea, we are going to be talking about Zacchaeus today.
Zacchaeus Looked
We need to talk about who Zacchaeus was.
He was a tax collector.
In those days, tax collectors were often corrupt and were thought of as being traitors.
He wasn’t liked by the people.
Kind of like police officers are today.
Think about this for a minute.
At some point, you were smaller so you should be able to imagine this.
I don’t have to imagine.
So what does Zacchaeus do?
He climbs a tree.
There’s something here that is commendable.
It’s like the woman who wanted to touch the hem of Jesus’ clothing.
Or like the people that took the roof apart to get their friend down to Jesus.
Zacchaeus want’s to see Jesus.
He was willing to do something that was beneath his station .
How many adults do you see climbing a tree?
It also shows a bit of humility.
He was willing to come as a child to Jesus.
Jesus Loved
Think about this for a minute.
Jesus is looking where he is going, people are crowding him in and he sees this man in a tree.
He sees how the man is dressed.
I’m sure Zacchaeus was dressed richly.
It would have been a weird sight.
But Jesus saw that he was Looking
So instead of leaving this man who was obviously rich, Jesus calls to him.
So he calls Zacchaeus to him.
Jesus loves us.
For God so loved the world.
Look at Luke 19:5
Jesus takes a hit for this.
The others say that he’s having dinner with a sinner.
The truth is that there is nothing wrong with what he did.
He went to Zacchaeus’ house to teach him.
We know this because during dinner, Zacchaeus stands up and apologizes.
Zacchaeus Lamented
Look at Luke 19:8
This is true repentance.
Whatever Jesus told Zacchaeus while having dinner is not recorded, but whatever it was, it tore Zacchaeus’ heart.
He vows to giving have his money away and giving back to those he wronged 4x.
That is not the words of a rich man.
But it is the words of a true believer.
A true believer will be Looking for the Lord
When we’ve done wrong, a true believer will be upset over the sin and will seek God for forgiveness.
I’ve heard stories of people that were saved and then they will turn themselves over to the police for something they did years ago.
Many people will be quick to point out someone else’s sins, but they ignore their own.
Look what Jesus says:
Zacchaeus knew he had done wrong and he was ready to fix the problem.
So here’s the question I want to leave with y’all:
Are you Looking for the Lord?
Are you willing to get up in that tree to look for Jesus?
I would, but Cristy has told me “No more Trees”
Are you seeking the Lord in prayer?
Are you looking for his return?
Are you longing for his return?
We need him
we need his mercy
We need his help
