Zacchaeus Luke 19:1-10
Some points to note:

His persistence and determination to see Jesus v3

His instantaneous conversion v6

His restitution/repentance v8

He calls Jesus Lord/Master v8

He shows his faith by his actions (a son of Abraham) v9

He admitted his sins v8

He welcomes Jesus gladly v6

Does this apply to me?

Do I block people's view of Jesus v3?

Am I a window or a wall?

How determined or desperate am I to know Him?

What happens when we see Jesus? V5

Do I need to make restitution? Apologise or put anything right in my life?

Note: the miracle of a changed life but also the miracle of Jesus calling him by name out of all the hundreds of people surrounding Him v5.
