In the midst of a larger #narrative in #Luke 19, we're told a brief #story featuring a small-statured, tax collector named #Zacchaeus of #Jericho. On its own, this account makes a cute, #kid-friendly story about Jesus's willingness and desire to care for the #outcast. In a deeper look, however, which we go through in this study, Zacchaeus becomes a microcosm of the entire #Gospel message.

Luke is an intelligent and intentional #writer attempting to accurately depict #historical events, but he is also recounting these events with a purpose in mind. In this section of Luke, specifically, we are in a transitional period from the earthly #ministry of #Jesus to His death on the #cross with this account of Zacchaeus sitting squarely in the middle.

Is this, simply, a retelling of events, or did Luke intend this retelling to speak to the larger purpose of the good news of Jesus #Christ and the #Kingdom of #God?
