Read Luke 19.1-10. In verses 2-3: Zacchaeus is both a tax collector, to whom the Pharisees objected (see 15.1-2), and rich. The wealthy were at a disadvantage according to Jesus (18.24-25). his being short is only significant because he took unusual measures displaying faith (see also 7.36-50; 8.43-48). In verse 8; His actions are free, non defensive, and exceeding even what the law required (Lev 5.16; Num 5.7; Ex 22.1). In verse 9: A son of Abraham is an heir to the promise (3.8; 13.16 (daughter); Gal 3.29). Comments or Questions..
