Methinks I see, with what a busy haste
Zacchaeus climbed the tree. But, oh, how fast,
How full of speed, canst though imagine, when
Our Savior called, he powdered down again?
Bird that was shot ne’er dropped so quick as he.
- Old English Poem
Zacchaeus simply wanted to catch a glimpse of Jesus. He was a chief tax collector and was considered repulsive to so many. Yet, Jesus invited himself over for dinner at his house. And when he did, Zacchaeus practically fell out of the tree. His life was changed. Not only did he follow Jesus, but he responded with radical generosity and kindness. What will you do when Jesus invites himself over for dinner? That’s our question this week. We’ll be looking at Luke 19:1-10
This Sunday will be a very special service. They all are, but this one is special because it is our DHL Sunday. “Disciples Heirs and Leaders Sunday” is when the students of our school serve us in worship and celebrate God’s grace to us there. After the service, together we will pack 500 sack lunches for local shelters. We’d love to share the morning with you. Hope you can come!
