Referring to the follow up question of Haizalene, Zacchaeus acknowledged the truth in Jesus presence and he let right things happened again.

I want to believe that Jesus portrayed God to Zacchaeus as someone who cares for his constituents by providing their needs and protecting them from all threats to their shalom (peace) like a King and at the same time as an approachable friend.

Not only was He a protector and a provider, He was also a lamp that gave light to Zaccheus way of life.

The simplest act of kindness Jesus showed to Zacchaeus has an impact when Jesus asked Zacchaeus to come down from the Sycamore tree and told him that he will come to his house, he was full of joy. For me the simple act of kindness to someone can show his/her true personality just like Zacchaeus and Jesus, Jesus treated him like a friend and with kindness Zacchaeus received the true meaning of happiness by helping others and having faith to God.

I believe that Jesus Christ is our savior and we are created from the image and likeness of God. Jesus is the ultimate revelation of the Father. He is the messiah and our light in the darkness time. Zacchaeus is the chief tax collector of Jericho and Jesus came brought hope and the salvation to Zacchaeus. Jesus shows his compassion towards to the sinners and Jesus welcomed and forgave Zacchaeus.

I also experienced what Zacchaeus went through. Before others look down at me because I did not do well in academics that I am not smart enough to have achievements and that lowered my self esteem, so I strive hard to prove to them that they are wrong. When I performed well in my academics, got achievements, and now studying in a good university the people who look down at me before suddenly change their perspective towards me.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Celene. I must say, so do I. Ever since I can remember, I always doubt myself whenever I try to recite or share my opinions because I was once humiliated by a teacher. Just like Zaccheus, I also experienced inferiority complex (in his case, it’s a short man syndrome). That is why I am trying to change myself for the better by trying to be more open and understanding of others.

We should always remember that it is not too late to prove ourselves and that we do not need to hurt others just to do it. 😊

For me the image portrayed by Jesus is a Forgiving God, because Zacchaeus was a sinner but Jesus is the one who approach him, Zacchaeus doesn't even know who Jesus was.

Before Zacchaeus met Jesus, the tax collector scorned as deserter. When Zacchaeus met Jesus, he changed completely and Jesus brougth him the salvation.

What you said is true but what do you think Zaccheus felt at that time? Before, during and after his meeting with Jesus?

# data[].attributes.body
Care to elaborate how Zaccheus changed ‘completely’?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Just like what you and Ivan have mentioned, Zaccheus was blind. He was self-centered. He betrayed people just to prove that he can be better and also have worth. But with just Jesus calling him by his name and treating him like a friend and how a person should be treated without looking down or scrutinizing them. I believe that it was then when he started to have faith.

Have you guys ever felt or experienced what Zacchaeus went through? If so, care to share?

# data[].attributes.body
Does Zacchaeus have faith in God after Jesus portrayed him as King and approachable friend? Why or why not?

If Jesus was Zaccheus' savior, in what way did Jesus show His forgiveness to Zaccheus?

# data[].attributes.body
When Zacchaeus went up to the tree of sycamore, Jesus called his name to come down. Jesus said that he need to stay at Zacchaeus house and that shows the forgiveness of Jesus to Zacchaeus.

# data[].attributes.body
Because of Zaccheus' desire to be seen, he became blind. Which is why Jesus came to Zacccheus life as light. For what a blind man sees is total darkness and what a blind man needs is light to guide his way

Why did you say that He gave light to Zaccheus’ way of life? Was Zaccheus suffering or lost?
