Would You Climb a Tree for Jesus? | Luke 19:1-10

You know the Sunday school song: Zacchaeus was a wee little man. But before he was a punchline, he was a man willing to run, climb, and risk looking foolish just to see Jesus.In this message from Luke 19:1–10, Pastor Allen Cason looks at what it actually takes to encounter Jesus: removing whatever stands in the way, whether that’s busyness, pride, or worry about what other people think. Zacchaeus does all three, and Jesus responds by calling him by name and inviting himself to dinner.Zacchaeus’ story ends with a total reversal: he gives away half of what he owns and repays everyone he cheated four times over. It’s proof that a real encounter with Jesus doesn’t just forgive you. It changes what you do with your time, your money, and your relationships.
