LUKE 19.1-4: He entered Jericho and was passing through. (2) And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. (3) And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. (4) So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way.” (ESV)
When I was very young in the children’s group at church, we would sing the song about Zacchaus, “the wee little man, and a wee little man was he…..”. But even though Zacchaus was dwarfed by the crowd, Jesus noticed Zacchaeus and called to him. Zacchaeus put his trust in Jesus that day.
And with Jesus, it doesn’t matter how seemingly small or inconsequential a person may think he or she is, Jesus has His eyes on them. He calls to all of us, to draw us to Him for salvation in His name and for a living relationship with Him that never ends.
