Zacchaeus and the Cost of Wealth.
He was a wealthy chief tax collector, a position that made him unpopular among his people. When Jesus passed through Jericho, Zacchaeus climbed a tree because he wanted to see Him. Jesus noticed him, called him down and chose to visit his house.
The crowd complained because Jesus was associating with a sinner.
During the encounter, Zacchaeus declared that he would give half his possessions to the poor and repay anyone he had cheated four times over. Explore: What happens when financial success is built at the expense of other people? Is saying sorry enough when your actions have caused harm?
Zacchaeus' response shows that genuine repentance is more than words; it should produce a willingness to make things right.
