Open Doors: Conversations with Heart of the Father

Named and Known: Zacchaeus Meets Jesus with Matt Lozano, Emily Wilson, and Jacqueline Harper

Heart of the Father Season 4 Episode 27

Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he; He climbed up in a sycamore tree for the Lord he wanted to see…

Many of us remember singing this Sunday School song which speaks of a short man named Zacchaeus who was a rich tax collector and wanted badly to catch sight of Jesus. We know Zacchaeus’ name because Jesus spoke it upon seeing him in the tree, stops the parade of people, and invites himself to Zacchaeus’ house. This was a scandalous idea because the practice of the Pharisees was not to cross the threshold of a tax collector and sinner’s home. But Jesus wasn’t scandalized.

As we seek Him, Jesus meets us where we are and enters in. He wants to come to our home and visit each room.

It just takes one encounter with Jesus to completely reconfigure one’s life and bring a person to greater freedom and transformation of heart.

Matt says he would give the story this subtitle: “I thought I was searching for Jesus, but I found he was searching for me.”

Listen and encounter Jesus for yourself today.
