The story, as Jesus tells it
Have they already decided who you are? They decided about him. Everyone wrote him off. So he climbed a tree. Come and see.
The crowd pressed in around me. Nobody made room for him. I stopped beneath that sycamore. I looked up and called his name. He came down running.
Everyone looked down on him. I looked up. He gave back what he took, and so much more. Tell me, who has written you off?
A verse to hold on to
“And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Luke 19:5, 10 (KJV)
