00:00The crowd saw a corrupt tax collector.
00:03Jesus saw someone worth saving.
00:06His name was Zacchaeus, a wealthy man who cheated people through dishonest tax collection.
00:13One day, Jesus entered Jericho.
00:16Zacchaeus wanted to see him, but the crowd was blocking his view.
00:20So he climbed a tree.
00:23But Jesus stopped, looked up, and called him by name.
00:28Zacchaeus, come down immediately.
00:31I must stay at your house today.
00:33The crowd couldn't believe it.
00:35Why would Jesus choose a man like him?
00:38But that visit changed everything.
00:42Zacchaeus promised to give half his possessions to the poor and repay four times anyone he had cheated.
00:48The man everyone condemned became a man willing to make things right.
00:53Because Jesus sees beyond our past and offers us a chance to change.
