 So he ran ahead, climbed a sycamore tree to see him, once Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached his spot, he looked up and said to him, Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today. So he came down, and at once he welcomed him gladly. I like this story. This turned out to be the most life-changing day Zacchaeus ever had. He not only invited Jesus into his house, but ultimately into his life that day.
