A WEE LITTLE MAN IN A GRAND STORY

Barbara M. Britton

 

 

 

Have you ever sung the song, Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he? If you have, then you probably made it to the verse about climbing into a sycamore tree. Recently, I taught the story of Zacchaeus to elementary students. At first, I thought they would be bored since they most likely learned the popular story from Luke 19 throughout the years. But as I dug into Scripture, I realized the story had been taught upside down. Zacchaeus may have climbed a tree to get a better look at Jesus, a man who had healed the blind and also healed a group of lepers, but the key to the story was that Jesus was seeking Zacchaeus, not the other way around. How do we know this?

 

 

 

The Bible tells us that when Jesus reached the spot where Zacchaeus was perched, Jesus looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately, I must stay at your house today” (Luke 19:5).

 

 

 

Zacchaeus didn’t know if Jesus was a healer, a teacher, the Messiah, or all three. But Jesus knew Zacchaeus by name. The two had never met. Jesus also states that he must stay at Zacchaeus’s house. Why at the chief tax collector’s house? The key is found in Luke 19:10, a key verse in the gospel of Luke. What has Jesus come into Zacchaeus’s city to do? Verse 10 tells us from Jesus’s own lips, For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost.”

 

 

 

Was Zacchaeus lost? Tax collectors were known for cheating people out of more money than the taxpayer owed. The people didn’t like being cheated. This is the only place in the Bible where the position of chief tax collector is mentioned. We have heard of tax collectors before because one of Jesus’s own disciples was a tax collector. To be a chief tax collector meant you skimmed off all the tax collectors. A thief among thieves. We see the dislike of Zacchaeus in verse 7 when the people are muttering about Jesus’s choice of Air BnB.

 

 

 

We don’t know what was said over lunch, but we see the transformation in Zacchaeus.

 

 

 

~ Zacchaeus calls Jesus, Lord (verse 8). Not teacher. Not rabbi. Not friend. Lord!

 

 

 

~ Zacchaeus is going to give half of his possessions to the poor. His wealth is insignificant in the blessing of knowing Jesus.

 

 

 

~If Zac has cheated anybody (and he has), he is going to repay them back four times the amount.

 

 

 

Wow! This is quite a change in Zacchaeus. He’s giving, not taking. Not only is Zac’s life changed, but Jesus says in verse 9a, “Today salvation has come to this house.” Not only had Zacchaeus’s eyes been opened to who Jesus truly was, but his household’s eyes had been opened, too. We don’t know who was at the lunch table, but dining with Jesus changed their hearts.

 

 

 

Jesus calls Zacchaeus a son of Abraham in verse 9b. Zacchaeus may have been from Abraham’s bloodline, but it’s his faith that is compared to Abraham. Jesus tells us his mission right after this declaration. Jesus had come to seek and to save the lost. Fooled you, Zac. You thought you would glimpse Jesus from the tree, but Jesus had his sights set on you from the moment his sandals shuffled towards Jericho.

 

 

 

When we truly know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, then our hearts are changed. We have a relationship with the Son of God and receive the Holy Spirit. We don’t look at earthly possessions the same way as they mean nothing in our heavenly home.

 

 

 

Children sing about a short man seeking a glimpse of Jesus. Zacchaeus saw Jesus, and then he had a chance to really see Jesus. Zacchaeus broke bread with the Bread of Life. Zac came face to face with the Son of God, the Savior who stepped into time to seek and to save the lost, giving them eternal life through the shedding of His own blood.

 

 

 

The wee little man met the Son of Man--just as Jesus had planned before the idea to scramble up a tree entered Zacchaeus’s mind. I think we need to add one last line to the song about Zacchaeus…

 

 

 

For I’m going to your house today,

And I’m going to show you a brand-new way.

 

 

 

A few years ago, I learned a new-to-me Bible story about the daughters of Zelophehad. I had missed this amazing story about five orphaned sisters for too long. When I discovered the girls, I decided to write a story about them and their big ask to inherit their deceased father’s land. “Lioness” tells about their bravery to ask for something that had never been given to daughters.

My next Biblical Fiction release will be in February of 2022. The Ebook of Defending David: Ittai’s Journey is already on Amazon and B&N for preorder.

 

 

 

Book blurb for Lioness: Mahlah’s Journey:

While the Israelites struggle to occupy the Promised Land of God, Mahlah bat Zelophehad is orphaned and left to care for her four sisters. But daughters of the dead are unable to inherit land, and it will take a miracle for Mahlah to obtain the means to care for her sisters and uphold the vow she made to her dying mother.

Mahlah must seek Moses, the leader of her people, and request something extraordinary—the right for a daughter to inherit her deceased father’s land. A right that will upset the ox-cart of male inheritance and cast her in the role of a rebel.

But, God is the protector of the orphan and the widow, and five orphaned daughters need His help. With God, anything is possible. Even changing man’s tradition.

Hi Becky! So many of us remember this story through the song. I won't sing it again in the same way after studying the story. Isn't the Bible awesome! I appreciate you joining us.

Becky Van Vleet From CO At 7/12/2021 12:29:48 PM

Barbara, I grew up singing this song since I was a "wee" little girl. And it's been a joy to pass this song along to my children and grandchildren. I never thought about it being an upside down story the way we usually view it. Thank you for sharing this insight and lessons we can learn!

Hi Natalya. I'm in awe at how these five sisters had the wherewithal to go to Moses and ask for an inheritance of land. They must have had a strong faith in God and His provision. I'm glad you joined us.

I enjoyed both your info on Zacchaeus and Mahlah! It's interesting how we miss things that are right under our noses until the Lord shines a spotlight on them!! Guess that's the time He knows we're ready to hear and learn... :)

Hi Deena. I had never put the verse about Jesus seeking the lost with the story of Zacchaeus. What a blessing to find that in the Bible. I'm so glad you joined us.

Donna Liston-Pippin From Oklahoma At 7/4/2021 1:07:26 AM

I am so excited to "meet" a new to me author! Reading has always been my favorite activity. I especially enjoy Biblical fiction. It enables me to better imagine the lives of those who came before, the struggles they endured, their joys, how they lived, worked, and celebrated.
