"Dinner with Zacchaeus"
• Doug Smee • Series: Dinner With Jesus
Zacchaeus was a man no one expected Jesus to pursue. As a chief tax collector, he was despised and seen as a traitor to his people. Yet, when Jesus saw him in the sycamore tree, He didn’t just acknowledge him—He invited Himself to Zacchaeus' house for dinner. This encounter changed Zacchaeus’ life forever, demonstrating that Jesus meets us where we are but never leaves us the same. In this message, we’ll explore how Jesus' invitation to Zacchaeus reveals His heart for the outcast and His power to transform even the most unlikely lives. We’ll be challenged to ask: Are we truly welcoming Jesus into our lives, and how are we extending that same grace to others?
