In the busy streets of Jericho, a wealthy tax collector named Zacchaeus climbed a tree, forgetting his pride just to see Jesus. He thought he was hiding safely in the leaves, completely blind to the fact that his quick move was part of a set path. The Savior did not miss a step. Stopping right under the branches, Jesus looked up and called the corrupt man by name, breaking his hiding place with a direct order to come down immediately. Zacchaeus scrambled out of the tree to host a guest who had already planned this meeting, because the Lord of hosts knows exactly where we are.
“And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house. And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.” Luke 19:5-6
