And running on ahead of the crowd, he climbed up on a sycamore that he might see Him, because He was about to pass through.
Luke 19:4
Zacchaeus was absolutely determined to see Jesus. He would let nothing hinder him. Imagine a man of Zacchaeus’ wealth and position running through the way and climbing a tree like a child! But it was a genuine act, from a heart yearning for Christ.
Heavenly Father, thank You for understanding our behavior. Sometimes we do strange things in our pursuit of You, but that is not a bad thing. You know You are so important to our lives. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
