Story Focus: Jesus loves us even when we do something wrong. Zacchaeus climbs a tree to see Jesus. We can only imagine the look on Zacchaeus’ face when he saw Jesus' walking towards him as he sat perched in a tree. Maybe Zacchaeus thought Jesus was going to tell him that being a tax collector was wrong. Maybe he thought Jesus was going to tell him he should be ashamed of his bad choices. But that’s not what happened. Instead, Jesus tells Zacchaeus He wants to stay at his house. Why? Because Jesus loves everyone
Key Question: Who does Jesus' love?
Bottom Line: Jesus loves everyone.
Memory Verse: “Be kind and loving to each other.” Ephesians 4:32, NCV
