• We are lost and need to be found
  • Our love for God is b/c He first loved us
  • God give us our faith. Not of our own works.
• When found – hearts are changed
  • Jesus come to Zacchaeus and saves him
  • Others came to Jesus, but went away not changed
  • Shows the heart change isnt done on our own. Its thru Jesus
  • We are not strong enough on out own to fight sin
  • ‘Create in me a new heart, O God’ – King David
  • Its only Jesus that can change us
• Hearts changed – it shows
  • Zaccheaus couldnt wait to go and do
  • Joyfully serve
  • Cry out to Jesus. He knows your name

19 He entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 And behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. 3 And he was seeking to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was small in stature. 4 So he ran on ahead and climbed up into a sycamore tree to see him, for he was about to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down, for I must stay at your house today.” 6 So he hurried and came down and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all grumbled, “He has gone in to be the guest of a man who is a sinner.” 8 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, since he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
