Tax Collectors
Luke 19:1-10
Zacchaeus The Tax Collector
Jesus is for losers.
Short people who strain hard to find God.
people who can't see past the spiritual giants.
people who climb trees to catch a glimpse of the Truth.
people at the end of themselves.
He calls them down,
grabs them by the shoulders,
and welcomes them into his Love
They weep in his Embrace
while he laughs and tenderly holds them.
And when the hug is done,
they are changed.
They're still losers,
but happy ones who give half of what they have to the poor
And all of what they are to their Jesus.
