One of the first stories that a lot of children learn is the story of Zacchaeus. They do not learn the story because it is one of the most pivotal stories in the New Testament. They learn it because it is one of the most popular children’s Bible songs. So go ahead and sing it, “Zacchaeus was a wee little man...” While it may not be one of the most pivotal stories, it does illustrate one of the most pivotal agenda items for Jesus. As Zacchaeus told Jesus that he would give half of his possessions to the poor and pay people back four times the amount that he had wronged them, Jesus told him this, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” Luke 19:9-10. “To seek and to save the lost.” There is a lot in this brief phrase. It communicates that there are lost people out there. It communicates that lost people won’t know they are lost until they are found. And it communicates that they need saving. And it communicates that Jesus can save. If that was Jesus’ mission, then that is our mission as well. Join us in the sanctuary for a tag-team sermon from Dr. Paschal and Rev. Tiger on this great story, and how we can join Jesus’ agenda to seek and to save the lost.
