This is Max Lakato.

When Jesus traveled through the city of Jericho, half the town showed up to take a look.

Short and stature, Zacchaeus was among them,

hopping up and down behind the wall of people hoping to get a glimpse.

Zekees was a chief tax collector.

Apparently the crowd blocked his view.

He spotted a sycamore tree and shimmied up.

He never imagined that Christ would take a good look at him, but Jesus did.

Of all the homes in town, Jesus selected Zax.

Financed with illegal money, avoided by neighbors, yet on that day it was graced by the presence

of Jesus. Zakias was never quite the same. Grace walked in the front door and selfishness

scampered out the back. It changed his heart. Is it changing yours? This is Max Lakedo.
