Sunday 29th January

Stuart Gordon from Harrogate read from Luke Chapter 19 verses 1-10 about Zacchaeus, a tax collector in the time of Jesus. Zac wanted to see Jesus and had to climb a tree to be able to do so because he was a small man and there were a lot of people in the crowd. Are people stopping you from seeing Jesus? He was also a rich man through dishonest gain, taking more taxes from people than he should. Jesus was interested in him. Jesus deals with people personally, and asked Zac could he come to his house to meet him. Zac received him willingly and his life was transformed. He gave half his wealth to the poor and restored four times the people he had cheated.
