Luke 19:1-10 "Zacchaeus"
Pastor Landon walks us through the account of a wealthy, despised chief tax collector who climbs a sycamore tree just to catch a glimpse of Jesus. But what Zacchaeus didn’t realize is that while he was seeking Jesus, Jesus was seeking him.
This is the final recorded conversion before the cross — and it is no children’s story. Set in Jericho as Jesus moves intentionally toward Jerusalem and His coming suffering, this encounter reveals the very heart of the Gospel:
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Luke 19:10)
We see:
• A spiritually bankrupt man who had everything — except peace.
• A Savior who stops, looks up, and calls a sinner by name.
• Immediate salvation by grace through faith.
• Real repentance that produces visible fruit.
• Joy in heaven over one sinner who turns to God.
Zacchaeus climbed a tree seeking sight.
Jesus would soon be lifted on a cross securing salvation.
Pastor Landon reminds us that grace always initiates — and true grace always transforms. Salvation is immediate. It is not earned. It is not cleaned up beforehand. It is received by faith.
This message challenges both seekers and believers:
If you are seeking — Jesus sees you, knows your name, and invites Himself into your life today.
If you are saved — are you making room for others, or are you part of the crowd that blocks them from Jesus?
The Gospel is simple and powerful:
We are saved by grace through faith — not by works.
But saving grace always changes how we live.
Today is still the day of salvation.
