God calls us to be disciples of Jesus, building community through
service and fellowship and sharing the love of Christ with all.

Faith. Without any exceptions, we welcome anyone who seeks to love and to serve God.” Learn More

A wealthy man encounters Jesus and receives his blessing. Touched by this encounter, he repents and commits to living a life of generosity. This has been a typical interpretation of the text. However, according to Greek scholars, Zacchaeus doesn't make a future promise to Jesus, but rather speaks in the present tense, indicating actions he is already taking: "Look, Lord, half of my possessions I give to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I pay back four times the amount." How could someone like him remain faithful while benefiting from such a corrupt system? It seems impossible. Yet, despite his flaws and the environment he operates in, Zacchaeus demonstrates extraordinary generosity. Jesus sees beyond Zacchaeus' outward appearance and recognizes the sincerity of his heart. In response to Jesus' acceptance and love, Zacchaeus joyfully embraces the opportunity for transformation. While we may not know the details of Zacchaeus' journey after his encounter with Jesus, one thing is certain: his life will never be the same. Like Zacchaeus, we are all called by Jesus to move from mere spectators to faithful disciples, embracing the transformative power of his love in our lives.
