Zacchaeus ran down the road as fast as his little legs could take him. He started to climb up but had trouble because of his short stature. He climbed to a point where nobody could see him but he could see the Rabbi.
Zacchaeus's heart was racing as he noticed the Rabbi and the crowd approaching. There was something about this Rabbi that was stirring in his heart. He got nervous as the crowd and the Rabbi were right underneath the tree. Then something spectacular happened. Jesus stopped right in his tracks and looked up at Zacchaeus.
" Zacchaeus, come down right away". He smiled at the short tax collector. " I must stay at your house today".
I quickly came down and hugged the Rabbi.
The crowd began to murmur. " The Rabbi has gone to be the guest of a tax collector".
Zacchaeus hugged Jesus again. " Lord, right here I will give half of my things to the poor". He smiled at Jesus. " And if I have cheated anyone out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount".
Jesus smiled at Zacchaeus. " Today salvation has come to this house for the son of man came to seek and save what was lost".
