Looks like Zaccheus is barking up the wrong tree.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: The short guy is named Zaccheus. In the story, he's a very short tax-collector who's been cruel to many people, but when he hears that Jesus is coming to town, he climbs up a sycamore tree to get a better look at the famous teacher. When Jesus sees him in the tree, He calls him down by name. Zaccheus is so thrilled that he vows to repay everyone he's ever been unfair to.

Are You A Christian? Then Prove It!

by J.C. Ryle

He that desires to give proof that he is a believer, should walk in the steps of Zaccheus. Like him, let him thoroughly renounce the sins which have formerly most easily beset him.

Like him, let him follow the Christian graces which he has formerly most habitually neglected. In any case, a believer should so live that all may know that he is a believer. Faith that does not purify the heart and life, is not faith at all. Grace that cannot be seen, like light – and tasted, like salt, is not grace, but hypocrisy. The man who professes to know Christ and trust Him, while he cleaves to sin and the world, is going down to hell with a lie in his right hand. The heart that has really tasted the grace of Christ, will instinctively hate sin.

Lessons from Zaccheus

In Luke 19:1-10, we read about Zaccheus.  The story of Zaccheus and his climbing a sycamore tree to see Jesus is one of the first Bible stories we teach our children. (I am using the word story to refer to an historical account of an actual event. It is NOT fiction.) The scriptures give us a progression in Zaccheus’ character, from sinner (verses 1-2) to seeker (verses 3-4) and eventually to…

Zaccheus

by Anonymous

The locals always told Louis to never go by the water.

He’s fairly sure that’s something they told everyone; an old wives tale about sea monsters, probably originally meant to keep small children safe from falling in when they couldn’t swim.

But Louis’ tired. Tired of going from village to village to collect taxes. Tired of the glares, the mean words. Of getting thrown out of just about every establishment. He’s not the one who keeps raising the taxes, after all. He’s just the one who couldn’t find another job. Not enough skills to join a guild, a sibling too many to get part of the family farm. His options had been slim.

So he’s tired, and he’s hungry, and maybe he’s a little petulant. A little willing to ignore the dire warnings of the locals, it’s probably just because they hate him anyway.

Why the Man Climbed Up the Sycamore Tree

Why the Man Climbed Up the Sycamore Tree

Here is a fictional  episode of Zaccheus before, during, and after the him seeing Jesus in Luke 19:1-10.

This is purely from my imagination and is no way meant to be an addition to Scripture nor an official interpretation of the aforementioned passage.

[A short Jewish man knocked on the door of house in the city of Jericho.].

Zaccheus: Anyone home?! Taxes are due. Time to collect.
