In this powerful message, "When Jesus Comes to Your House", Pastor Andrew examines the familiar story of Zacchaeus, the chief tax collector, found in Luke 19:1-10. Although Zacchaeus was known as a wealthy traitor who cheated others, the sermon reveals that his original name means "pure," "righteous," or "innocent", emphasizing that the narrative is fundamentally about a son being restored, not a sinner corrected. When Zacchaeus climbed a sycamore tree to see Jesus, Jesus commanded him to "make haste" (hurry or escape his current life) because, "today I must stay at your house", demonstrating that Jesus looks at our being, not our behavior. This invitation, which also reminds believers they are called to be in the world but not of the world (Mark 16:15), led Zacchaeus to joyfully receive Jesus and restore four-fold what he had taken. The ultimate purpose is revealed in Luke 19:10: "For the son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost", transforming us into a "dwelling place of God in the spirit" (Ephesians 2:19-22).
