And what Jesus said was, all whom the Father has given me will come to me, and all who

come to him, of that number not one will ever be lost.

Now obviously, when Jesus saw Zacchaeus in that tree, He knew that He was one whom the

Father had given to Him.

If you grew up in the church, you likely grew up singing about Zacchaeus, that short man

who climbed a sickamore tree.

And although he was up that tree because he was short and wanted to see Jesus, he was

in that tree for a far more significant reason.

Hi, I'm Nathan W. Bingham, and thank you for joining us for this Sunday edition of Renewing

Your Mind.

We're familiar with a Bible story.

We intend to skim over it and miss the truth that's contained in it.

Each Lord's day, as RC Sproul is walking us through the gospel of Luke, today we come

to the well-known story of Zacchaeus.

You might think that this is simply a Sunday school lesson or a song that we sing, but

Zacchaeus was a real man, and the truth contained in this story is relevant for each one of us.

Here's Dr. Sproul.

Thanks be to God.

We're going to start a new chapter.

Chapter 19, and I will be reading chapter 19 verses 1 through 10, and I would ask the

congregation, please, to stand for the reading of the Word of God.

He entered Jericho and was passing through.
