Sermon:

The Story of Zaccheus

Text: Luke 19:1-10
For some of us, everything we know about today’s story is from the children’s song “Zacchaeus was a wee little man” and this seems like a fairly straightforward story. Verse 10 tells us “10 For the Son of man came to seek and to save the lost.” Throughout Luke’s Gospel, Jesus sides with the outcasts. Jesus restores people to their rightful place as children of God. Jesus treats the outcasts, those on the margins of society, with respect and with compassion. As followers of Christ, we should also respond to the outcasts, those on the margins of society, with respect and with compassion.
