Zacchaeus! (31st Sunday-C)

Zacchaeus, chief tax collector for the Romans in Jericho, is the worst of the worst when it comes to sinners. Yet he wants to at least see Jesus...even climbing a sycamore tree to do so. As things turn out, it is Jesus who sees Zacchaeus and invites himself into his home, to his table, into his heart and restores this sinner of all sinners to life, joy, and discipleship.
