Zacchaeus, a man who seemly had everything, except peace in his heart. Even though he was a wealthy and rich man, he was not satisfied. He did not have a popular position, but it gave him a status in life that few enjoyed in that day. Yet, he no doubt went to work each day with emptiness. The word was spreading that Jesus was coming to Jericho, and he was doing miracles that had not been seen in years. Zacchaeus had no need of physical healing, or material needs, yet he was a man searching for something more meaningful than the things of this world. He realized that he was spiritually bankrupt and his soul was not right with God. He needed spiritual healing and he heard that Jesus was passing through Jericho. Not only did he seek after Jesus, but Jesus was seeking after him. God is seeking for those who realize that they are lost in sin. Zacchaeus did not care what people thought of him, he was determine to find God. Even as he sat there in the sycamore tree, Jesus was seeking him. It was for this reason that He had come to Jericho, to find Zacchaeus. That is why Jesus came to Cucamonga, CA on Feb. 21st 1974. He heard the cry of my heart and gave me a new life with eternal purpose.
