Zacchaeus
Zacchaeus heard about Jesus
Yes O, Zacchaeus heard about Jesus and wanted to meet him
Yes, Zacchaeus wanted to meet Jesus
He overcame the first obstacle by climbing a sycamore tree
Jesus came to the tree
and asked Zacchaeus to come down
Jesus visited Zacchaeus' house
where he threw a lavish party
Detractors condemned Jesus for visiting a sinner
For visiting a sinner
Detractors condemned Jesus
Yes they condemned Jesus
But Jesus didn't mind them
A popular Nigerian gospel song had this lyrics:" never mind them...''
Zacchaeus showed true repentance by giving away half his wealth to the poor.
He also restituted what he had extorted from his countrymen by paying them four times.
Zacchaeus was a tax collector
and a sinner
But repented genuinely
Yes, Zacchaeus repented genuinely
Zacchaeus repented genuinely
Zacchaeus repented genuinely
What about You?
