About this episode

"Luke 19:1-10 – The Story of Zacchaeus: A Lesson in Redemption."

Zacchaeus was a notorious tax collector known for greed and dishonesty, stealing from his fellow Israelites. But everything changed when he heard the name of Jesus. Drawn by curiosity and a stirring in his heart, Zacchaeus climbed a tree to catch a glimpse of the Savior. It was no coincidence that Jesus sought him out that day, offering grace and transforming his life forever.
