Don't you love Zaccheus? He may be rich and a cheater, but he is short and will climb trees to see the good stuff. And his excitement about seeing the Teacher was sure rewarded in Luke 18:31-19:10.
Don't you want to applaud! Yea, for Jesus who "came to seek and to save the lost." Yea, for the little guy who was humble and did crazy things to get help. Yea, for all of us who have a Savior that "rewards those who earnestly seek Him." (Hebrews 11:6)
Notice Jesus knew his name, called him down, and announced that He would spend the day at his house. Wow! Zaccheus is so thrilled that he announces on his way there that he will give half of his stuff to the poor and repay double the penalty to anyone he has cheated. Jesus' reply is that "today salvation has come to this house".
