Our former Pastor recently shared a message on Zaccheaus entitled the Tax Collectors Triumph. He highlights some fundamental truths from this Sunday School story. Zaccheaus met with Jesus and he was no longer the same again.
From this story we learn that:
1) God sees us (verse 5)
God saw me even before my physical birth, yea even before my form in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:14-16
He sees us, even when our choices are for Him and when we are prone to wander!
Proverbs 5:21; Proverbs 15:3
2) God knows us (verse 5)
He knew Zaccheaus by name. He called out his name and told him he would be a guest in his house. Psalms 139:1,2
God is touched by the feeling our our weaknesses. Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 5:7
Lastly and not least
3) God needs us!
He needs our testimony. This meeting that Jesus had with Zaccheaus brought tremendous change in this disliked wee little man! Our testimony speaks of what God has done in our lives.
